Liverpool Predicted XI: We predict Jurgen Klopp’s much-changed starting XI for his sides Champions League clash against Midtjylland

Defenders: The big news is that the Reds will have to do without Virgil van Dijk for quite some time after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Everton due to Jordan Pickford’s questionable challenge. With only five clean sheets kept in their previous 23 matches, things were not exactly rosy defensively, but there’s no question that the Dutchman will be sorely missed. Fabinho and Joe Gomez have been Klopp’s go-to defenders since the big injury, and we expect them to start again as Klopp has declared Matip is not quite ready. Young right back Neco Williams will be hoping to start with summer signing Konstantinos Tsimikas on the opposite flank.
