Liverpool are set for a tough test away from home turf with Jurgen Klopp’s men facing La Liga champions Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday night.
The Merseysiders were last involved in a 5-0 rout of the Premier League’s new boys Watford with Roberto Firmino on his return to the teamsheet netting a hat-trick.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set his Liverpool side for the game against FC Porto –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be back between the sticks for Liverpool after missing out last time around following his late departure from the international break duty with Brazil.
Expect Jurgen Klopp to give some well-earned rest to Joel Matip and hand an outing to Joe Gomez who has played second fiddle to the Cameroonian this new season.
Fabinho’s return to the Anfield fold after being sidelined for the Brentford win along with his Brazil teammate Alisson should mean an automatic start for the defensive midfielder in the centre of the park.
Diogo Jota was on the bench on Saturday and was backed for a start against Atletico but Firmino’s hat-trick could mean the latter retaining his role in the forward lineup.
