Liverpool’s Predicted XI: We predict Jurgen Klopp’s side as they host Chelsea in the Premier League

Liverpool’s Predicted XI: We predict Jurgen Klopp’s side as they host Chelsea in the Premier League.

Since winning their first league title in 30 years and their first ever Premier League trophy, Liverpool’s form has been understandably a little up and down.

Last week they missed out on the chance to beat the greatest ever points tally when they lost 2-1 to Arsenal in a thrilling encounter

Going into tonight’s match manager Klopp will be desperate to get back to winning ways so they don’t finish such an incredible finish on a low point.

The club will also be lifting the Premier League trophy tonight, so will be deseprate to sign off their home campaign with a win against Frank Lampard’s side.

So who will Klopp pick to face-off against Chelsea? 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 Chelsea this afternoon.

CB: Virgil van Dijk

Despite his mistake against Arsenal, 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 evening both in attack and defence.

DM: Fabinho

With Jordan Henderson now ruled out for the rest of the season with injury, we expect Fabinho to start to ensure Liverpool have a player with a defensive mindset.

CM: James Milner

Although he hasn’t been a regular starter we expect Klopp to turn to his experience for this encounter. Milner is a leader in the absence of Henderson and 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 add to his goal tally again this evening against a inconsistent Chelsea back line.

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.
