LIVERPOOL’S PREDICTED LINE UP AGAINST REAL MADRID (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Alisson Becker put out a terrific display in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United last time out and the Brazilian will be manning the goalposts for his side on Tuesday night.
The four man backline could see one change from the Newcastle clash with Joel Matip likely to earn a recall at the expense of Joe Gomez.
In the midfield, with Thiago Alcantara sidelined for a few weeks with a hip injury, the teenage starlet Stefan Bajcetic is certain to keep his place in the side alongside Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
Diogo Jota could be eyeing a return to the XI after his recent cameos off the bench with Cody Gakpo tipped to give way for the Portugal international.
