Liverpool are back in action this evening, as they travel to Italy to take on Atalanta in their third Champions League group stage game.
The Reds came from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1 on Saturday afternoon, and it’s now back to European action tonight.
Jurgen Klopp’s men face a potentially tricky game against Gian Piero Gasperini’s exciting Atalanta side, and here is our prediction for their staring line-up…
Alisson will almost certainly start in goal for Liverpool, with Adrian having little chance of breaking into the side even if Klopp rotates a little tonight.
Trent Alexander-Arnold should start at right back, whilst there may be a temptation to rest Andrew Robertson, but Kostas Tsimikas is only just back in training and may only be fit for the bench.
Joe Gomez and Rhys Williams seem a firm bet to start at centre back, though Joel Matip’s return could give Klopp another option.
Jordan Henderson and James Milner can provide a strong base in midfield, with Xherdan Shaqiri starting in a central role to bring more creativity going forward after strong substitute appearances.
With a big game against Manchester City coming up, Klopp should try to give rests to the likes of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, meaning Mohamed Salah, Takumi Minamino and Diogo Jota can play in attack.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Williams, Robertson; Henderson, Milner, Shaqiri; Salah, Minamino, Jota.
