Liverpool play hosts to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night at Anfield in a crunch group stage tie for Jurgen Klopp’s Merseysiders.
The Reds were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw in league action over the past weekend against Brighton and the fans will be hoping for Jordan Henderson and Co. to return to winning ways.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set his Liverpool side for the game –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will retain his spot between the sticks after an influential showing against Brighton last time around with the Brazilian tipped as his side’s best player on the pitch in an otherwise disappointing outing.
Joel Matip is backed for a return to the starting team sheet for the home side Liverpool with Ibrahima Konate likely to drop down to the bench.
Liverpool had a fresh injury concern following the Brighton stalemate with Naby Keita’s hamstring trouble which sidelines the midfielder from the midweek contest against Atletico Madrid but Fabinho could be in the mix for selection.
Diogo Jota looks likely to replace Roberto Firmino in the forward lineup for Liverpool after the latter started the last game with Jota on the bench.
