Liverpool predicted XI
Manager: Jurgen Klopp
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Alisson Becker (GK)
The Brazilian will be itching to make amends against Fulham after conceding two against Red Star.
Trent Alexander Arnold (RB)
The right-back has failed to make an impact in the last few games. He will start this one at right-back though he was substituted at half time.
Joe Gomez (CB)
Gomez will return to centre-back after coming on at half time in mid-week. The youngster has been brilliant under Klopp this season.
Virgil Van Dijk (CB)
The Dutchman will probably play every game for the Reds this season, such is his ability.
Andrew Robertson (LB)
The left-back has been good defensively but his offensive input as reduced over the last few weeks.
Georginio Wijnaldum (RCM)
Wijnaldum should start at central midfield despite failing to provide going much forward. He has been anonymous at times this season.
Naby Keita (LCM)
Keita should start for this game after missing few through injury. His energy and pace have been missed.
Mohamed Salah (RAM)
Salah will start on the right side of attacking midfielder and aim to get on the scoresheet as he always does at Anfield.
Xherdan Shaqiri (CAM)
Shaqiri must sit behind the striker and dictate the play. He has been a massive influence whenever given the chance. Sadio Mane (LAM) Mane needs to bring more end product to his game. The Senegal international tends to disappear at times.

And according to Sky Sports, City chiefs are keen to tie him down to a long-term deal to scare away Premier League rivals that are keeping tabs on him. Sterling still has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal but the club feel his dramatic improvement is deserving of a pay rise. The 22-year-old was linked with a switch to Arsenal in the summer, with speculation suggesting he could be used as a makeweight in a deal to bring Alexis Sanchez to the Etihad. But Sterling has established himself as a key part of Pep Guardiola’s plans this term and the Spaniard is desperate to keep hold of him. The Sun reported last month that City were trying to negotiate a new contract that would see him take home £200,000-a-week and an agreement is thought to be close.
