How Liverpool could line up against Red Bull Salzburg

Sports Mole looks at how Liverpool could line up for Wednesday's Champions League Group E clash with Red Bull Salzburg at Anfield.

Champions League holders Liverpool will be looking to take their domestic form back onto the European stage when they welcome Red Bull Salzburg to Anfield on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp's side boast a 100% record in the Premier League so far with seven wins from seven, but lost the opening match of their Champions League defence away to Napoli on matchday one.

By contrast, Salzburg lead the way in Group E after their six-goal show against Genk and are sure to pose attacking problems for Liverpool, having scored a whopping 55 times in their 12 outings so far this term.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Merseysiders could line up for the contest.



Out: Alisson Becker (calf), Xherdan Shaqiri (calf), Nathaniel Clyne (knee)
Doubtful: Joel Matip (knock)

Liverpool are still without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker, although they are hopeful that the Brazilian will be ready to return to first-team training this week.

Adrian has proved an able deputy since Alisson suffered a calf injury on the opening day of the season but will make way once he is back to full fitness, which is most likely to be after the international break.

Xherdan Shaqiri remains sidelined with a calf injury of his own while Nathaniel Clyne is a long-term absentee, and Klopp confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Joel Matip picked up a "slight knock" against Sheffield United - although the centre-back could still feature.

There are unlikely to be any major changes to the side, but Klopp could rotate his midfield with James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain among the players pushing for inclusion.

Naby Keita may have to settle for a place on the bench against his former club, while Sadio Mane should start against the side he played for between 2012 and 2014.
