Here’s how we should line up:
If Ben Davies can’t start against the bottom of the table then it’s unclear when the new defender will feature. Klopp should trust the two new boys for this one and release Fabinho into midfield.
Employing a 4-2-3-1 shape could help get the best out of two of Liverpool’s key players in Thiago and Roberto Firmino. Talk of Thiago not suiting our system is nonsense – but there’s no denying that performances could be better. For Roberto Firmino, the Brazilian simply isn’t scoring enough when operating from the nine – it’s time to move him back into his natural position.
Salah is the Reds best hitman this season which should see the Egyptian king moved to spearhead the Liverpool attack. Xherdan Shaqiri and Sadio Mane complete the Liverpool line-up with Diogo Jota being a potential feature on the bench after returning to full training this week. The Portuguese winger was arguably Liverpool’s best player before the injury and will soon be back to full fitness.
If Klopp goes with the 4-2-3-1 from the start then we can be optimistic about this one.
Score prediction: Sheffield United 1 – 4 Liverpool
