Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Elliott, Mane, Salah, Firmino. Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Keita, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Jota, Tsimikas.
Huge compliment to the lad. Thiago simply isnt ready and Keita worries me in defensive terms. Not sure it's the very best idea in the world but we will see as elliott could be told to go press jorginho.
Chelsea (3-4-3): Mendy; Azpilicueta (c), Christensen, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso; Havertz, Lukaku, Mount Subs: Kepa, Chilwell, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech, Werner
I like the starting 11. Thr bench has players who can stretch the game if need be. As much as Jota is a lethal player he struggles to link up play and this will be needed with Chelsea formation. Up the reds!!! Let us do them one
Perfect forward line. Jota is not the same guy as firmino. Bobby will butt tackle chelsea into submission Elliott is picked for what he did off the ball. It think hes a massive risk in coughing it up to their press though. They have gone for havertz and mount behind the hee haw up top. This game will be 18 players in midfield like an u8s fame chasing the ball
Got the slap in the head and I would presume it's as simple as who do you want klopp to drop to get him in the 18. If it were full 9 man bench I'm sure he is there but do you drop thiago or keita, maybe ox?
