Liverpool can move back to the top of the Premier League on Saturday afternoon as they face Brighton in the weekend’s early kick-off.
The Reds currently sit behind Tottenham Hotspur in the table on goal difference, but they can move back above the London club if they can get something against Brighton on Saturday.
You would expect Liverpool to get something against Brighton, after all, the Reds are 11 points better off than the Seagulls after just nine games of the season.
However, Jurgen Klopp still has to make sure his team get the job done, and in order to do that, he has to pick the best team for the task.
We’ve had a go at predicting the Merseyside club’s starting XI for this weekend’s game.
We think Jurgen Klopp will make four changes from his team’s 2-0 loss to Atalanta on Wednesday evening.
Most of the changes come in the defence, as the inexperienced trio of Kostas Tsimikas, Neco Williams and Rhys Williams being replaced by Andy Robertson, Fabinho and James Milner, who moves to right-back after starting in the midfield against the Serie A side.
Full-back was pointed out as an area of concern on Wednesday evening, so it’s not surprising to see changes there.
Joel Matip and Alisson retain their spots.
Replacing Milner in the midfield is Naby Keita, the Guinean picked up an injury against Leicester last week, but that issue is thought to be minor.
Partnering Keita is Curtis Jones and Georginio Wijnaldum who retain their spots from midweek, with Thiago and Jordan Henderson still not back to full fitness.
Up front the reliable trio of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane start, meaning there is no place for Diogo Jota in the starting XI this side.
