An under-fire Liverpool side will be gunning for their first league win of the new year when they welcome Chelsea to Anfield this Saturday in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have been defeated twice on the bounce to Brentford and Brighton since the turn of the year but would take some solace from their 1-0 win over Wolves last time out in the FA Cup.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game –
LIVERPOOL’S PREDICTED LINE UP AGAINST CHELSEA (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be the man between the goalposts for the home side Liverpool with the Brazilian certain to take over the goalkeeping duties from Caoimhin Kelleher.
In the backline, Virgil van Dijk remains sidelined for the coming weeks which should see Joel Matip partner Ibrahima Konate as the two centre-backs.
Skipper Jordan Henderson is likely to stage a return to the starting XI with the England midfielder expected to be joined by Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.
Darwin Nunez could be deemed fit to make the XI after being ruled out of the Wolves clash as he is poised to provide company to Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo up top on the pitch.
