Jurgen Klopp refused to tell reporters who will start at right-back against Leicester on Wednesday.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez injured, and James Milner suspended, it looks like a toss up between Fabinho or Rafa Camacho in the position.
Fabinho plays there for Brazil, but we’d badly miss his dynamism and physicality in central midfield.
Klopp though joked that it might not even be a right-back he’ll select, but a right wing-back instead, as Dave Maddock tweeted!
Klopp teases the assembled media, by replying when asked who he is considering in place of Trent AA with Milner suspended: "We will play with a right back…or a wing back. Ooooooooh!!!" #LFC

A wing-back formation would mean three at the back, with Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren all starting.
This would enable Andy Robertson and probably Fabinho to play on the flanks, with Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum providing a platform in midfield – with the usual front-three up top!
We wouldn’t bet on it though… At home, we reckon it’ll be the 4-2-3-1 that’s seen us play our best football this term.
At least we hope so anyway!
