da betano casino： What is Jurgen Klopp going to do?
The German will be without two of his star men in Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah for the visit of Barcelona, who arrive at Anfield with a comfortable 3-0 lead under their belts.
Firmino is out with a ‘muscular injury’, the same issue that has seen him miss the recent wins over Huddersfield and Newcastle, as well as the first leg loss at the Camp Nou.
Has Salamon Rondon had a better season than Bobby Firmino? Matt from The Magpie Channel discusses in the video below…
In Salah’s case, the Egyptian cannot play due to the concussion he suffered in the 3-2 win over Newcastle last Saturday.
So, how will Liverpool line up? Let’s take a look at how we think Klopp will line up without two of his biggest stars…
We think that the former Borussia Dortmund boss will draft Saturday’s match-winner, Divock Origi and the man that set up the last-gasp goal against Newcastle, Xherdan Shaqiri, into the side to replace Firmino and Salah.
Some fans have called for 19-year-old Rhian Brewster to be handed his senior debut against the Catalans, and that is definitely an option for Klopp as the teenager is in the squad – we think that the Reds boss will repay Origi for his impacting performances from the bench this season with a start in this showpiece event, however.
Shaqiri’s inventiveness, and similarity to Salah in the way that they are both left-footed but cut in from the right, will see him start in order to maintain the balance of the side, and will allow Trent Alexander-Arnold to overlap into the space created by the Swiss international coming infield.
On the topic of Alexander-Arnold, he should come into a side who need to score at least three goals to have any chance of progressing into the final as he offers more of an attacking threat than Joe Gomez, who started the first-leg.
Whoever Klopp chooses to start, one thing is for certain; Liverpool face an absolute mountain of a task to overcome their first-leg failings.
