Goalkeeper: Alisson

Alisson has been exceptional in recent weeks, he hasn’t had much to do but he has had to do he has done with minimal fuss.

Right back: Neco Williams

The Scouser in our team is out injured and with James Milner also out we will turn to Neco Williams.

Centre back: Fabinho

The Brazilian may well get the nod given the importance of the fixture, though it could just as easily be Rhys Williams at the back.

Centre back: Joel Matip

The Cameroonian was rested at the weekend with this game in mind.

Left back: Andy Robertson

Andy Robbo, published author, must be knackered. We could well see Kostas Tsimikas take his place.

Centre midfield: Curtis Jones

The Scouser has started all but one of our Champions League games this season, he’ll get the nod again.

Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum

The Dutchman’s running will be vital to controlling the midfield.

Centre midfield: Jordan Henderson

The skipper will make all the difference in the middle, his world class influence will keep intensity high.

Right wing: Mo Salah

The Egyptian King was furious at being subbed at the weekend, he’ll be determined to earn the full 90 on Tuesday.

Left wing: Sadio Mane

Sadio hasn’t been in the best of form in the past week or so but we can rely on him in big games.

Striker: Roberto Firmino

The Brazilian showed flashes of his old brilliance on Saturday, we’re hoping for more of the same.
