Liverpool’s season has up to now been virtually flawless below new head coach Arne Slot, and their European marketing campaign has actually been that. The Reds have presently gained all six video games within the UEFA Champions League, conceding only one objective, which got here three minutes into the primary sport at AC Milan.
In addition to beating the Serie A giants, that run additionally consists of victories over Actual Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.
Tuesday evening sees Liverpool tackle LOSC Lille, which may very well be a chance for Slot to rotate his aspect as their Premier League title pursuit continues to ramp up. With that being stated, let’s check out our predicted lineup…
Two Modifications on the Again
Alisson Becker will stay in objective for this one after a formidable efficiency within the Reds’ victory at Brentford.
Kostas Tsimikas will stay at left-back too, with Andy Robertson being rested as soon as once more earlier than doubtless returning for Saturday’s conflict with Ipswich City. On the alternative aspect, Conor Bradley might return to the aspect rather than Trent Alexander-Arnold who has began in opposition to Accrington Stanley, Nottingham Forest and Brentford, all previously 10 days.
Virgil Van Dijk will captain the aspect from the guts of the defence, however will likely be partnered by Jarell Quansah on this event. Ibou Konate will likely be given some much-needed restoration time as he continues his restoration from a knee harm.
Verdict: Alisson, Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk (C), Tsimikas
Essential Changes in Midfield
I see this sport as an enormous alternative to 2 of the three key midfielders. Due to this fact, I believe Curtis Jones will come into the aspect and can accomplice Alexis Mac Allister on the base of the midfield – that means Ryan Gravenberch will get a much-needed relaxation forward of the weekend’s Premier League motion.
Dominik Szoboszlai can also be anticipated to be rested on this one and absolutely Harvey Elliott is in line to lastly get his probability to showcase his skills within the ten function.
Verdict: Mac Allister, Jones, Elliott
Darwin Nunez’s Big Alternative
After his heroics in opposition to Brentford, Darwin Nunez is in line for an enormous alternative within the beginning lineup. Hopefully the Uruguayan can take that momentum into Tuesday’s sport and actually reignite his season.
Mohamed Salah will begin on the right-wing, while Luis Diaz will transfer out onto the alternative flank rather than Cody Gakpo, with the Dutchman receiving a well-earned relaxation.
Federico Chiesa will doubtless obtain a good chunk of minutes after additionally impressing off the bench on the weekend, however this sport has maybe come too quickly for a shock begin. Diogo Jota will miss this sport by way of harm.
Verdict: Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Beginning XI: Alisson, Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk (C), Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Jones, Elliott, Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Bench: Kelleher, Jaros, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Robertson, Endo, Morton, McConnell Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Chiesa
