Predicted Liverpool XI to face Chelsea
Manager: Jurgen Klopp
Formation: 4-3-3
Adrian (GK)
The summer arrival filled in for Alisson against Norwich and it looks like he will do the same against Chelsea as well.
Andy Robertson (LB)
After a fantastic season, Robertson has picked up from where he left off and should find himself in the starting XI for this one.
Dejan Lovren (CB)
Lovren has the potential to work wonders on his day and should receive a start against Chelsea.
Joel Matip (CB)
With a long and gruelling season ahead, it would be best for Klopp to rest Virgil van Dijk and deploy Matip.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB)
The searing youngster is lethal down the right and he must retain his spot to trouble Chelsea.
James Milner (DM)
Milner is one of Liverpool’s most crucial players and is capable of turning the game around in an instant. Starting him should be a no-brainer for Klopp.
Adam Lallana (CM)
This game could see Lallana receive a start and if so, the player should do everything to impress his manager.
Naby Keita (CM)
Keita is capable of a lot of wonderful things and he would be ideal to partner Lallana in the midfield.
Mohamed Salah (RW)
Salah and Liverpool have become synonymous with one another. If Liverpool are to walk away with a win, Salah’s presence will be of paramount importance.
Divock Origi (LW)
Origi’s pace and finishing skills would provide an outlet for the Reds to score some goals.
