By Adam Brown – @AdamMNViA hard-fought 1-0 victory against Ajax on Wednesday sees Liverpool return to Premier League action as the Reds host Sheffield United.Concerns over defending were eased in Amsterdam after Fabinho once again looked natural at centre-half, sending Twitter into raptures after an acrobatic clearance.Klopp seemed to have the Blades in mind around the hour mark when Liverpool’s front three were withdrawn. Diogo Jota looked bright as the Portuguese winger came on alongside Takumi Minamino and Xherdan Shaqiri.FC Midtjylland are next in line for Liverpool which could suggest a full-strength XI against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Here’s how we should line up:Alisson is back in training but is set for a return against West Ham, which means Adrian remains in goal for now. The Spaniard has produced some good saves in the last two games since the Aston Villa result.There’s no need to change the back four after a clean sheet against Ajax, although the Dutch side did threaten at times, it’s tough to expect the same level of attacking threat from Chris Wilder’s side.Henderson should start from the six with Thiago ready to dominate against a physical Sheffield United. That leaves one spot left and both Wijnaldum and Keita available to be selected – I’ve gone for Naby in a match against a team who will set up to frustrate Liverpool.Mane, Salah and Firmino start upfront, but Diogo Jota looks most likely to be introduced after looking sharp in recent appearances.The Blades are in awful form since the beginning of the season which should mean a comfortable win.Score prediction: Liverpool 3 – 0 Sheffield UnitedHow does Paul think Jurgen Klopp will line up the Reds in the first Champions League game of the season?
