Liverpool face Rangers in the Champions League tonight and Jurgen Klopp faces some tough decisions as he chases a win at Ibrox.
The Reds beat Rangers 2-0 at Anfield last week but that result hasn’t solved their form problems.
Sunday’s 3-2 defeat at Arsenal has sparked concern again and Liverpool need to come up with a result tonight.
Klopp faces some big injury problems in the aftermath of that Arsenal game though, so picking a lineup isn’t all that easy.
Liverpool predicted lineup v Rangers
Alisson Becker has been a solid constant throughout this season and barring any late issues, should keep his place in goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is out injured after picking up a blow against Arsenal and that means Joe Gomez looks likely to come in at right back.
Joel Matip is another player who went off injured against Arsenal and is set to miss out tonight.
That means Ibrahima Konate is likely to start, coming in to partner Virgil van Dijk at centre back.
Left back Andrew Robertson is back in training but is unlikely to start ahead of Kostas Tsimikas at this stage.
It’s surely time for Fabinho to be given another chance in midfield and the Brazilian should return alongside Thiago in front of the back four.
Hailed as a ‘top player’ by teammate Roberto Firmino, Fabinho has endured a slow start to the season and really needs to get going.
Klopp has been playing a 4-2-3-1 of late and we will back him to do the same again here.
This would see Diogo Jota feature on the left flank with Luis Diaz out following an injury against Arsenal.
Mohamed Salah should be relatively fresh having been substituted with 20 minutes to play at Arsenal, so the Egyptian will surely start on the right.
Darwin Nunez seems to be finding form and will lead the line with Roberto Firmino playing in behind him.
That would leave the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher, Calvin Ramsay, Nat Phillips, Robertson, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho among the Liverpool substitutes tonight.
Liverpool predicted lineup v Rangers: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Jota; Nunez.
