Liverpool’s Predicted XI: We predict Jurgen Klopp’s side as they face their first game at Anfield since winning the Premier League against Aston Villa

Liverpool’s Predicted XI: We predict Jurgen Klopp’s side as they face their first game at Anfield since winning the Premier League against Aston Villa.

The Reds won their first ever Premier League title a little over a week ago now and will be returning to Anfield for the first time since.

Despite all the plaudits the Reds rightly received upon winning the league, they will want to right some wrongs following their 4-0 devastating defeat they suffered to Manchester City last time out.

So who will Klopp pick to face-off against Aston Villa? We predict Liverpool’s starting XI here…

GK: Alisson 

Mr reliable Alisson will be back between the sicks. Many see him as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold

As well all know Klopp does not like to rotate his back four and especially his full backs, we expect to see Trent in the starting line-up.

CB: Dejan Lovren

Despite Gomez being his go to man to partner van Dijk of late, we believe Klopp will hand Lovren some game time against Aston Villa this afternoon.

CB: Virgil van Dijk

Second in Ballon d’Or, Virgil van Dijk is Liverpool’s undisputed number 1 player is simply undroppable at this stage of the season.

LB: Andrew Robertson

Will start again at left back. The Scotland international’s energy up and down the left side will be vital for Liverpool this aftrnoon both in attack and defence.

DM: Jordan Henderson

The captain is expected to continue in the DM role. Klopp will want to reward one his key players with a start tonight. Henderson is vital for this Liverpool team both on and off the pitch.

CM: James Milner

Although he hasn’t been a regular starter we expect Klopp to turn to his experience for this encounter. Milner used to play for Aston Villa and is such an experienced head in this Liverpool side.

CM: Georginio Wijnaldum

Seems to be Klopp’s go-to man in midfield due to his energy and ability to both attack and defend.

FW: Sadio Mane

The Senegal star will be looking to notch his 20th goal of the season in all competitions this evening.

FW: Mo Salah

Hasn’t been the prolific Salah we knew from last season, but he still brings so much to this Liverpool side.

FW: Roberto Firmino

It’s very rare that Klopp rotates his front three and Firmino is so key to the Liverpool attack, seldfesslely playing in his teammates at every opportunity.
