Liverpool's Startegy At Etihad
Manchester City vs Liverppol
Sat 21 Nov
Barclays Premier League
Hot Keys:
- Flanagan, Sakho and Henderson are Reds only absentees
- Klopp to decide on Sturridge who “is as fit as can be” after recent return to full training
- Milner back available and in contention to feature against former club
- Ibe fit again and hoping to retain starting shirt
- Lovren to partner Martin Skrtel in Sakho’s absence
- Decisions to make in attack for Klopp with options aplenty
- Firmino, Lallana, Coutinho and Ibe all battling for starting places
- Benteke to lead the line with Sturridge unlikely to be ready to start
Klopp has received a boost this week with absentees closing in on returns, but the Reds XI is likely to retain a familiar look.
The biggest decision comes in which formation to deploy between the frequently used 4-3-2-1 and more recently utilised 4-2-3-1.
In either system, Lovren is set to replace Sakho in the back four and Milner’s return to fitness is likely to see the vice-captain come straight back in.
Should Klopp go with his formation of choice since arriving – 4-3-2-1 – Milner could join Lucas and Emre Can to form a solid midfield three, leaving some tough decisions over the two attacking midfield positions.
Coutinho is a certain pick, and the Brazilian should be joined by compatriot, Firmino, to play in support of Benteke, leaving Lallana, Ibe and Sturridge in reserve.
Those changes to system and personnel would see the Reds look like this at the Etihad:

Within that, the back four would remain the same, with Lucas and Can forming the midfield duo.
Milner could then move into the three man attacking unit – where he featured heavily during his time at City – alongside Coutinho, and Lallana could keep his place in the XI to form the trio behind Benteke.
The switch of shape and single change would see Liverpool look like this come 5:30pm kick-off time:
