Liverpool play hosts to FC Porto in the upcoming Champions League group stage outing for Jurgen Klopp’s men come Wednesday.
The Reds clinched a memorable 4-0 win last time around in league football against Arsenal which marked a superb return to winning ways after a couple of misfiring results from the Anfield camp.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set his Liverpool side for the game –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker looks set to continue as Liverpool’s custodian between the goalposts but expect a change in the defensive lineup for the hosts.
Joel Matip will likely drop down to the bench to make way for summer recruit Ibrahima Konate to come in and partner Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the backline.
Skipper Jordan Henderson came off the bench in the win over Arsenal and he could be in the fray to start in the midweek outing against Porto with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s extended involvement in line to conclude.
An injury concern for Liverpool came in the form of Diogo Jota and should he not be fully fit in time for the upcoming game, Takumi Minamino will slot in the central striking role.
