Here’s how we should line up:
Kelleher’s performances this season are deserving of a start in the cup, but it would be unsurprising if Alisson started with leadership vital at the back for this one.Neco Williams comes in. Trent’s form has been hard to watch of late – the Liverpool star right-back hasn’t been the same since returning from injury. A good performance from Williams could see the Welsh defender move up the pecking order.No changes in the defence elsewhere. Liverpool must build consistency with a backline that has been makeshift for too long.I’ve had enough of Thiago in the six – the Champions League winning midfielder is needed further up the field. Curtis Jones starts with Wijnaldum moving into a deeper role.The Reds need to start creating chances. Klopp’s side threatened against Newcastle and missed opportunities, but relied on a mistake for the best chance of the game against Burnley – a Thiago-Jones attacking pairing can hopefully solve this.Sadio Mane could be rested after a heavy workload in recent weeks. Takumi Minamino comes in alongside Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah. Xherdan Shaqiri should feature in the second half.A win against United could get the season back on track – but Klopp must be prepared to take chances with the team selection. Whether it’s a change of system or new combinations in different areas – the Reds must find a solution before it’s too late.Score prediction: Manchester United 0 – 1 Liverpool How does Chris think Liverpool will line up?
