Liverpool are back in Champions League action on Tuesday evening, and a win against Porto would give them a great chance of progressing through their group.
The Reds grabbed a hard-fought victory against AC Milan in their first match, and Porto are likely to provide a similar challenge to the Serie A outfit.
Champions League group games are sometimes seen as chances for Premier League sides to rotate their XI, especially when Liverpool are facing Manchester City this weekend, but with Porto being a rather strong side and Liverpool being in a tough group, we can’t see Klopp chopping and changing too much here.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Merseyside club’s starting XI for this one.
We think that Klopp will make just two changes here.
James Milner comes in at right-back after it was reported that Trent Alexander-Arnold hasn’t travelled with the squad, while Roberto Firmino starts ahead of Diogo Jota as their battle for the number nine position continues.
Aside from that, Liverpool are fielding what could be described as their strongest XI, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk start at the back, and with Thiago Alcantara still out of action, Curtis Jones starts alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson in the middle of the park.
The Reds will once again be looking towards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to provide their main attacking spark in this fixture.
