Liverpool welcome Aston Villa to Anfield this Sunday in the Premier League as Jurgen Klopp’s men look to maintain their winning ways.
The Reds picked up a win over Newcastle United last time out with Klopp’s side, reduced to 10 men after Virgil van Dijk’s sending off, coming from behind to secure the three points.
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 (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be the man between the goalposts for the home side with Van Dijk’s suspension likely to force Klopp into reshuffling his defensive options.
In the backline, Joe Gomez, who put out a solid display in the win over Newcastle last weekend, is certain to provide cover for Van Dijk alongside Joel Matip in the heart of the defence.
Liverpool’s midfield three could well be the new signings – Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai with the latter operating in a more advanced role.
Darwin Nunez will be pushing for a return to the first XI after his heroics off the bench against Newcastle with Cody Gakpo expected to drop down to the bench.
