DM) Lucas Leiva
Joe Allen has struggled to impress in recent weeks, and this is surely the ideal opportunity to play someone of Lucas’ more defensive mindset. By having him to sit in front of the back four, it will allow his fellow midfielders to focus on supplying the forwards.
CM) Emre Can
With reports Steven Gerrard could be rested, Brendan Rodgers could trust Emre Can with a role in the midfield.
RM) Joe Allen
Joe Allen is set to be deployed in an unfamiliar wide right berth, with Jordan Henderson too set for a place on the bench.
LM) Adam Lallana
Adam Lallana joined Liverpool precisely to play in this sort of game, and with Philippe Coutinho’s form somewhat up and down this season, Brendan Rodgers may trust the England playmaker.
