Liverpool travel to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night looking to get back to winnings ways after a tricky few weeks in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds let slip a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 at Bournemouth the weekend before last, and then they could only manage a 2-2 draw with struggling West Ham at Anfield on Sunday.

It means that Klopp’s men have now won just one of their last four league games, and go into Wednesday’s game at the Riverside Stadium six points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.

However, the Reds are still third in the Premier League table, four points clear of fifth place Tottenham, and remain the league’s top-scorers with 37 goals thus far, one more than the next best Arsenal.

They’ll find it tough going in the North West on Wednesday though, as Aitor Karanka’s Boro are the lowest conceders in the bottom half of the table, and they won their last home game 1-0 against Hull last week.

Nonetheless, Klopp will be expecting to get the win on Wednesday, although he could make a few changes to his side in a bid to get back to winning ways.

Thus, here are THREE players who deserve a chance against Boro…

Simon Mignolet

Probably the biggest decision Klopp has to make ahead of the Middlesbrough game is whether to drop Loris Karius.

The former Mainz goalkeeper has made errors in each of his last two games, which arguably has cost Liverpool maximum points.

Karius appears to still retain his manager’s faith, but it might be better for him, and indeed the team, if he’s given time away from the first team.

Mignolet is a more experienced shot-stopper who will likely give more confidence to the back four, and he should come in on Wednesday at the Riverside.

Ragnar Klavan

Dejan Lovren was replaced at half-time on Sunday by Ragnar Klavan, and it’s unclear whether the former Southampton defender will recover from injury in time for the trip to the Riverside Stadium.

Regardless, Klopp may be looking ahead to the Merseyside derby next week, and could decide against starting Lovren anyway in a bid to minimise any possible injury repercussions.

Thus, Klavan deserves his fourth league start of the campaign.

Although he didn’t start the season brilliantly, the Estonian international performed well in the second-half on Sunday, and looked comfortable alongside Joel Matip at the back.

He could be drafted in from the start on Wednesday.

Ben Woodburn

Fresh ideas going forward may be needed for the trip to Middlesbrough, so Klopp may be tempted by giving Ben Woodburn more minutes on the pitch.

The 17-year-old will be on a high after netting for the club in their 2-0 win over Leeds a fortnight ago, in turn becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer at the expense of Michael Owen.

He has been on the bench in their last three Premier League games, and made it onto the pitch once and, although a start is unlikely, Klopp may look to Woodburn in the second half should his side struggle to break down a solid Boro defence.
