Article by Adam Brown @AdamMNVi After a solid outing against Southampton, it’s time for the first of our two matches against one of our biggest rivals of the Premier League era, Chelsea.Saturday’s formation selection surprised the majority of fans, with Klopp opting to use all of the Reds’ attacking options in a 4-4-2 shape which gave plenty of room for roaming by the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri.While the Carabao Cup is a competition which fans care about least, it’s still a competition we have a genuine chance of winning – so the team against Chelsea should look to find the balance of giving game time to players who need/deserve it, and still maintaining a level of strength to progress through to the next stage.Formation: 4-3-3For some players, this is their chance to prove that they deserve to be in and around the starting XI. Of course, that’s difficult for some positions when trying to get a place ahead of Andy Robertson or Alisson, but players can also show that they can be relied on when called upon. In the midst of a tough schedule, this is probably the only opportunity for Jurgen Klopp to rotate the squad. What’s promising for Liverpool fans, is that despite the squad being rotated, it’s still fairly strong, and more than capable of getting the result against Chelsea; a sign of the strength in depth we have acquired. If Fabinho doesn’t start this game, then it’s tough to see when he will feature – it’s time to unleash the Brazilian defensive midfielder. Finally, perhaps the man who is most deserving of a start after his performance on Saturday, Xherdan Shaqiri. The Swiss attacker showed on Saturday exactly why we’ve bought him – an attacking player who is flourishing in this Liverpool side. Prediction: 2-1. Goals from Sturridge and Keita.Article by Adam Brown @AdamMNVi How does Chris think that Jurgen Klopp will select the side? Will Klopp look to build momentum or give players a chance?
