Liverpool will close out the first half of their pre-season campaign with a behind-closed-doors clash with Greuther Furth on Monday.
The Reds won their first fixture in Germany, a 4-2 victory over Karlsruher, and will hope to maintain their 100% record ahead of the next stop of their pre-season tour in Asia.
Here’s how Jurgen Klopp could set up for this one.
GK: Caoimhin Kelleher – Alisson’s finger injury may see the Brazilian kept out of action for a little while longer.
RB: Joe Gomez – Klopp’s tactical tweak could prove hugely beneficial to Gomez, who may get the chance to strut his stuff at right-back.
CB: Joel Matip – Firmly in a battle for minutes, Matip will relish the chance to make an impression on Klopp once again.
CB: Ibrahima Konate – It’s Konate who has taken Matip’s spot alongside Virgil van Dijk but the duo could find themselves working together this time.
LB: Kostas Tsimikas – Andy Robertson started the last friendly against Karsruher so Tsimikas may get the nod here.
DM: Trent Alexander-Arnold – With Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both likely leaving for Saudi Arabia and Thiago out injured, Alexander-Arnold’s move into midfield is almost out of neccesity.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister – A classy cameo last time out could lead to a first unofficial start for Mac Allister.
CM: Dominik Szoboszlai – Fans are waiting to see the best of the expensive Hungarian, who looks set to get to work with Mac Allister for the first time.
RW: Mohamed Salah – Salah looked dangerous against Karlsruher and will expect another impactful showing, with young Ben Doak likely to hand him a rest later on.
ST: Cody Gakpo – Gakpo was really impressive off the bench last time out, reminding Klopp of who his best striker option truly is.
LW: Diogo Jota – Jota may get the nod from the off but expect Klopp to hand plenty of minutes to Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez as well.
