Cardiff City vs Liverpool Predictions – Liverpool line-up

After drubbing Porto and reaching the Champions League semifinals, Liverpool turn their attention towards the Premier League title race. Their next opponents are Cardiff City this Sunday, and a win will take them top of the table regardless of what Manchester City do on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are high on confidence going into this game and the momentum is on their side. However, Cardiff will be a tough nut to crack, especially at their home ground. Hence, the Reds have to be at their best to get three points on Sunday.

Virgil van Dijk (CB)

He is one of the irreplaceable cogs in the team who starts almost every game.

The Brazilian has been fantastic in defensive midfield since the turn of the year. Along with van Dijk and the front three, he is slowly becoming an irreplaceable player in the team.

Naby Keita (LCM)

The Guinea international was rested in midweek, hence, he is expected to start on Sunday.
