1) Jordon Ibe vs Roberto Firmino
This is undoubtedly going to be the toughest decision for Rodgers. Ibe was our stand-out player in pre-season and caused Stoke some early problems on Sunday before their defenders began to gang up on him. However, the Brazilian was equally excellent during his brief cameo – with his fine work-rate and presence on the ball already made clear within twenty minutes. Firmino, who has now put in a solid amount of training since returning from the Copa America, will surely get his first competitive start, with Ibe then introduced in a similar way later on.
