An under-fire Liverpool side welcome arch rivals Manchester City to Anfield in Sunday’s high-billed contest between the two Premier League giants.
Jurgen Klopp’s men returned to winning ways in midweek against Rangers in the Champions League with a hat-trick from Mohamed Salah ensuring a thumping 7-1 win.
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 will stand between the goalposts for the home side with Jurgen Klopp not expected to ring in any changes to his defensive lineup for the game against City.
Joe Gomez should continue in the right-back role with Trent Alexander-Arnold out injured and Joel Matip’s absence will likely have Ibrahima Konate pair up alongside Van Dijk.
In the midfield ranks, Thiago Alcantara could come back into the XI and replace the skipper Jordan Henderson who has looked out of sorts in recent weeks.
Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino are not expected to drop down to the bench but Mo Salah will be pushing for a return to the starting team sheet.
