Liverpool’s predicted XI v Chelsea in League Cup semi-final: Steven Gerrard returns

Posted by

MR) Lazar Markovic

We missed Markovic’s dribbling and pace down the right against Bolton, and we looked a considerably more exciting attacking force when he came on. Hopefully the Serb will have another dynamic night.

ML) Alberto Moreno

Moreno should replace Spanish compatriot Jose Enrique at left wing-back, and he’ll have the tough task of negotiating Branislav Ivanovic and Willian down Chelsea’s right.

MC) Lucas

Arguably our best and important player since the turn of 2015, Lucas will be absolutely crucial against Chelsea’s formidable midfield. He got the better of Nemanja Matic last time, and it’d be unbelievable if he did so again.

MC) Jordan Henderson

Henderson was a real leader in the first leg, and barring a late injury – he’s a certainty to start in the centre alongside the Brazilian, meaning the rested captain can enter the front three.
