Liverpool play hosts to a struggling Leicester City side at Anfield on New Year’s eve with Jurgen Klopp’s men looking to maintain their rich vein of form.
The Reds marked their return to top flight action with a convincing 3-1 win over Aston Villa to close the gap on the top four in the league standings.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game –
4-3-3
Alisson Becker will be the man between the goalposts for Liverpool with Klopp expected to ring in a minor change to his defensive lineup for the home outing against Leicester.
FIFA World Cup runner-up Ibrahima Konate could come into the starting XI at the expense of Joel Matip to partner Virgil van Dijk in the centre-back role.
Liverpool’s engine room should have their usual three faces in the skipper Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho who all started the win over Villa.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was handed a rare start against Villa but he could be seen dropping down to the bench with Roberto Firmino tipped to return to the XI after his brief spell on the sidelines with injury.
