Starting XI: How should Liverpool line up against Atletico Madrid?

By Adam Brown – @AdamMNVi Back to winning ways and just two wins to go. The Reds will win the league at Goodison Park if the City lose their next game, but now we must focus on Atletico as Liverpool look to the power of Anfield to help overturn a 1-0 deficit after losing in Madrid. Could James Milner be the key? The vice-captain is back fit and after producing a magical goal-line clearance on Saturday, he could be what Klopp needs to get the Reds back operating at full power. Milner has to start on Wednesday – the game will be as much about not conceding as it is scoring first. Another question for Klopp is whether Fabinho should continue from the six; the Brazilian is nowhere near his best at the moment and could benefit from sitting this one out.

Here’s how we should line up: One change to the back four should see Andy Robertson return after the Scotsman was rested against Bournemouth. Wijnaldum should start from the six. Liverpool need a player who can move the ball forward quickly against Atletico’s rigid shape. Diego Simeone will set up to defend the lead  which means there’s less need for Fabinho who could be introduced should the Reds go 2-0 up. There is suggestions that Henderson could be ready, but he shouldn’t be rushed back if not 100%. Milner’s leadership is vital for big games and his presence will allow Ox more freedom to attack. No changes to the front three. Atletico need to be put under pressure which they are not used to in La Liga. The Reds have more quality overall and that will hopefully prevail over 90 minutes in a game which will be in the balance for large portions.   Score prediction: Liverpool 2 – 0 Atletico Madrid By Adam Brown – @AdamMNVi
