Here’s how we should line up:
Consistency is key within the back four and Kabak-Phillips have been solid. Madrid’s attack isn’t as quick as what Liverpool have come up against so far, so the challenge will be different this time with intelligent movement in tight areas around the box. For this, the midfield battle will be key to keep Zinedine Zidane’s side out of the danger areas.One change in the midfield sees Gini Wijnaldum come back in. Klopp seemed to have this game in mind with Wijnaldum starting from the bench on Saturday. Fabinho and Thiago complete the trio.Jota’s form has produced six goals and an assist in the last five games for club and country. The former Wolves man was likely rested for this game and should start centrally with support out-wide from Salah and Mane. Firmino will come on from the bench and should make an impact whether upfront or in the 10 if Klopp changes shape.Recent performances provide plenty of reasons for optimism which means the Reds should be able to get past a Madrid side who are much weaker than they have been in previous seasons.
