Starting XI: How should Liverpool line up against MK Dons?

By Adam Brown @AdamMNViAfter a massive win against Chelsea on Sunday, it almost feels like a free game going into this one.It’s a much needed opportunity to rest some key players, while those on the fringes have a chance to prove they can step in and produce when needed.MK Dons have lost five games in League One this season – which means any youth players who play a part in this game should be able to perform if they’re to have any chance of breaking into the first team in future.As expected, it’s full rotation for this one.

Here’s how we should line up:Kelleher starts in goal behind a changed back four of Hoever, Lovren, Van den Berg and Gomez. After seeing Hoever feature in previous first team games, he should have no problem dealing with the MK Dons attack, while there is enough experience to ensure the defence is free from silly mistakes.Lallana in the six. It’s that time. Milner provides added experience alongside Curtis Jones.It’s vital we can rest the front three wherever possible, which sees a chance for Brewster to continue his impressive form from pre-season alongside Shaqiri and Ox.The selection suggests that we’re underestimating MK Dons, but the league has to be our priority this season. The team would be no different if against a championship or lower-level Premier League side.It’s difficult to see how The Dons will stop Liverpool’s attack scoring, but a back four which hasn’t played together before will make a clean sheet difficult.Prediction: MK Dons 1 – 4 Liverpool
