Starting XI: How should Liverpool line up against Cardiff?

Article by Adam Brown @AdamMNVi Four cup finals to go in the Premier League. If we win them all, we can be proud regardless of whether or not we win the title.There are split opinions on Twitter over Manchester City’s exit from the Champions League – will they bounce-back and dominate in the league? Could it be too difficult to recover mentally? Either way – it’s out of Liverpool’s control.Klopp knows we have to make this challenge as difficult as possible by winning games amongst City’s difficult spell which has begun. Don’t expect any favours from United, just win our own games.Cardiff’s fight against relegation means this will be no easy game. This means we can’t look to ease people back into the squad or rest players – the likes of Gomez will be valuable when back, but not for this game.

Here’s how I think we should line-up: The back five remains the same. We know Gomez can come in if we need to close out the game – he’s a good option to have to bring in at right-back or go with five defenders.Fabinho maintains his place in the six behind an in-form Jordan Henderson. We have the luxury of options in midfield for the other spot – I’ve gone for Naby Keita as this a game where we will need to take the game to Cardiff.No changes for the front three. Mane, Firmino and Salah start upfront.Cardiff will only threaten us on the counter and set pieces. Control the game, take our chances, and move onto the next one.Score Prediction: Cardiff 0 – 3 LiverpoolArticle by Adam Brown – @AdamMNViHow does Bailey think that Jurgen Klopp will select the side?
