Arne Slot will once again trot out a top-tier lineup vs. Marseille in a midweek Champions League tilt in France. It’s a big match because the teams are separated by just two points on the Champions League table. Considering the Reds just need a single point to advance to the next round, I don’t expect them to leave anything to chance. Mohamed Salah returns from AFCON, and I expect him to be an impact sub off of the bench.
- GK: Alisson– While Mamardashvili is perfectly suitable for the FA Cup, you want the Brazilian between the pipes for the Champions League
- RB: Jeremie Frimpong– Speed plays well in the EPL or the Champions League. Expect Frimpong to have another solid game.
- CB: Ibrahima Konaté– Really strong game vs. Burnley. His play has been trending up as of late.
- CB Virgil Van Dijk (C) – Van Dijk’s size will be invaluable on set pieces if Liverpool can’t find any joy in the run of play.
- LB: Andy Robertson - One of the few changes. Robertson’s fresh legs will be a big boost in defence
- CM: Alexis Mac Allister – MacAllister came on as a sub vs Burnley, so he should be ready for a proper shift in this one
- CM: Ryan Gravenberch – Continues his run as a regular starter under Slot.
- RW: Domonik Szoboszlai – After his roller coaster week, I expect a big bounce back from Szoboszlai
- AM: Cody Gakpo - Popped up in front of the goal several times vs. Burley. Gakpo’s pairing with Ekitiké looks promising
- LW: Florian Wirtz– Was the best player on the pitch vs Burnley. Will be in contention for that honour again, and if he does come off, Salah comes on. Talk about trouble for the opposition.
- ST: Hugo Ekitiké- Ekitiké may not have scored in the last match, but he did have an assist. He is a dual threat in the attacking third of the pitch.
Key Stat to Watch: Salah has 15 goals in his Liverpool career as a substitute. He just might : add another in this match.
Final Score Prediction: Liverpool 2 Marseille 1
Star Man: Dominik Szoboszlai: He is too good for his run of poor play to continue
