Liverpool will travel to Russia, in the midweek, as they gear up to clash against Spartak Moskva in their second group game of the UEFA Champions League, at the Otkrytiye Arena, on Tuesday night.
The Reds finally put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they defeated Leicester City 3-2 in the Premier League this past weekend, but are far from their best. The defensive woes continue to hamper Jurgen Klopp’s side, but he will be hoping that his side get their first win of the competition.
Adam Lallana is unavailable for the Reds and Nathaniel Clyne is out of the squad for the initial stages of the competition after being left out. Defender Joe Gomez will miss out as he is suspended for the game, after he picked a late red card against Sevilla. Sadio Mane, who wasn’t available for the domestic competitions, will return to the fold.
The German stopper started the Champions League game against Sevilla a couple of weeks back and is likely to get the nod again on Tuesday, ahead of Simon Mignolet.
With Joe Gomez suspended and Nathaniel Clyne not in the squad, the onus of holding the fort at right-back will fall on the young shoulders of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Cameroonian shook off a knock to feature against Leicester City over the weekend. He is Klopp’s best centre-half and should start.
Another player who passed a late fitness test to start on Saturday against the Foxes, the Croatian centre-back is likely to partner Matip in the heart of the defence.
The Spaniard has enjoyed a sort of a resurgence this season and has been Klopp’s preferred choice at left-back, despite Andrew Robertson impressing. May get the nod again on Tuesday.
The German has lacked consistency in his game this season, but offers a great deal of energy and thrust from the midfield. Should start against Spartak.
The captain got his first goal of the season on Saturday and will look to carry the confidence into the European encounter in the midweek.
Showed that his head is in the right place, with a stellar display against the Foxes at the weekend. A definite starter for the Reds.
Scored against Sevilla in the previous fixture and has netted 6 times already in all competitions. Liverpool’s biggest goal threat, the Egyptian is a defintie starter for Reds.
The Brazilian forward hasn’t had the best of the weeks at the top of the attack, but Klopp places immense faith in him. Should start ahead of Daniel Sturridge.
The Senegalese sensation is available for selection having missed the domestic games due to suspension. His return will make this Liverpool attack much more lethal.
