The Reds handed a thumping 6-0 defeat to Leeds United at Anfield midweek with Liverpool closing the gap on league leaders Manchester City to three points.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker’s deputy between the goalposts, the Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher, is tipped to take over the gloves for the Wembley showdown.
Ibrahima Konate is not expected to get the starting nod with Jurgen Klopp likely to stick with Joel Matip to partner Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the backline.
Skipper Jordan Henderson was left on the bench midweek against Leeds and he will be in line for a return to the starting team sheet at the expense of the young Curtis Jones.
Injury absentees Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino face a race against time to prove their fitness which could mean that Klopp retains his attacking trio of Salah, Mane and Diaz.
