Early kick off on Saturday. Tough fixture against a very good team. Fraser, King and Wilson will be a cause for concern and trouble. That said, they had 4 straight losses before Tuesdays win over Huddersfield. One of their stand out players this season, Lewis Cook, injured his knee on Tuesday and is out for 6 months and thats a big blow for them.

Napoli on Tuesday will obviously be a factor here, but surely we wont rotate as much as we did yesterday.

I'd go:

Alisson
TAA Matip Virgil Robertson

Milner Fabinho Keita

Salah Firmino Shaqiri
 
I don't like the ponderous Matip against the speed of Fraser, King and Wilson, who are all quick... I'd expect Lovren to play this one. He's a bit quicker.

Either way, I expect us to beat them comfortably as they've just played Man City and chased the ball for much of the game.. with 26% of the ball.

And after that, they've played a tough game against Huddersfield where they chased the ball for much of the game again.. with 33% of the ball.

Klopp has rested our best attacking players for this tough away game. As long as the score is level around 65 mins, I expect us to win it late again.

We have the fresher legs and are used to Sat-Wed-Sat games.

Hopefully, we will win this early and get some players rested around 70mins.
 
It's gonna be:

Becks

TAA
Matip
VD
Robbo

Hendo
Wijnaldum
Keita

Mane
Firmino
Salah
 
Hopefully they will be tired as they haven't been able to rotate. Fraser is dangerous, and I really like what I see of Brooks too.

Expecting Mane & Robbo to remain out.

I want to see:

--------------Alisson-----------
TAA---Lovren---VVD---Milner
-----------Fabs---Hendo-------
---------------Keita---------------
Salah------Firmino-----Shaq

Yeah that team for me too if no Mane.

Lewis Cook is a big miss for them though, everything in their midfield seems to start with him.
It'll probably be something like your team but I reckon Wijnaldum will get a start ahead of Keita or Henderson - which I'm totally fine with too

Klopp is always going to have one eye on the midweek Napoli game so I wouldn't be surprised to see some more rotation for this one
 
I see a couple of people put Shaqiri on the left - he’s horrible on that side, far, far less effective. There should be another solution if Mane can’t play.
 
I'd play the same team as v Burnley tbh. Swap Hendo or Milner for Fabinho. Rest the front 3 so we can twat Napoli
 
Don't think Wednesday's team will beat Bournemouth. But then when I heard Wednesday's team announced I didn't think it would beat Burnley.
 
That team that finished against Burnley probably would beat Bournemouth, that team that started I wouldnt be so sure of.

With Napoli being a make or break game for our season and Utd being the high profile fixture it is I suspect Klopp will shuffle tghis pack again. I expect Lovren Fabinho Gini TAA and Robbo will start, no idea what will happen upfront.
 
Sometimes English managers get too much credit, but Eddie Howe actually deserves any plaudits coming his way. They try and play footy, they have a tiny ground, small budget, and they have looked comfortable in this league.

But we'll fucking muller them.

Bournemouth looks like a game where we go back to our 4-3-3 (worked well against them last season) and the strongest team with a couple of exceptions. We should take them seriously and keep our winning momentum going into the big games next week.

In defense, looks like Robbo will be back, but I would rest TAA for Napoli and United - he was supposed to get his break at Burnley, but obviously Gomez’s injury scuttled those plans. Hopefully Clyne can play; if not I would consider Camacho. Lovren and VVD should be in the middle, of course.

In midfield, Keita must start and try to build on the Burnley performance against a stronger opponent. Lerma in particular will not be as easy to hoodwink as Dyche’s wooden soldiers. I think Shaqiri should be rested as he played a few games in a row and was starting to look not as fresh. At DM, I think it’s going to be Fabinho because Klopp will probably go with Hendo for the 2 big games (rightly or wrongly). The 3rd midfield place is a toss-up between Milner and Gini; I would probably go for Milner because he gives us an option on set pieces without TAA.

In attack, if Mane is fit I would probably start him, Salah and Sturridge, to keep Firmino fresh for the big ones. If not, then Bobby probably has to play and it’s between Studge and Origi for the 3rd spot.

4-3-3:
——————Alisson——————-
————Lovren——-Van Dijk———
Clyne———Fabinho——-—Robbo
———-Keita———-Milner————
Salah———Sturridge——--Mane

Tomorrow is massive, if we can get 3 points early , the pressure is on City against Chelsea, just need Hazard to turn up, he seems to in the big games.

Lee Mason is the ref for this one. We havent got the best record with him in recent years.
 
Massive, massive game this, a real test of our pedigree.

I'd take any performance whatsoever that leads to 3 points. We could really do with one of our 'special' players having a special moment.

Come on Redmen!!!
 


Based on this vid which seems to be a training session after the Burnley game, Fabinho and Robertson will probably start.

Sadio Mane is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

The Liverpool forward missed the midweek victory at Burnley and the trip to the south coast may come too soon, though the Reds will have Andy Robertson and Georginio Wijnaldum back.
“Sadio is now out [at Melwood] and tries to run [for the] first time,” said Jürgen Klopp at his pre-match press conference.
“That doesn’t sound like he will be ready for tomorrow. Hopefully he can finish the programme today we did for him.
“Gini is nothing – he did his own programme [this week] and is fine.
“Robbo played pretty much most of the games, in a very intense position. That’s why we decided to give him eight hours off. That was actually the only thing, he was not in Burnley.
“He trained in the morning and went home. He couldn’t watch the game [on TV]; he was sitting in front of the radio or whatever and came back. He is fine.”
Meanwhile, Dejan Lovren remains unavailable.
The Liverpool centre-back missed the win over Burnley, too, where the Reds also lost fellow defender Joe Gomez to injury.
And Lovren will not recover in time for the clash with the Cherries at Vitality Stadium, confirmed Klopp.
“No, he will not be available,” said the manager at Melwood. “He got a knock last week and got a concussion. He is still not able to play.”
In addition to long-term absentees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster, Liverpool will also be without Nathaniel Clyne and Dominic Solanke on the south coast.
“Clyney has been out for already two weeks, it’s nothing serious but he is not in training and not available as well,” added Klopp.
“Joe [Gomez] obviously, Oxlade, Rhian Brewster and Dom Solanke [are out]. But Dom is close; I really hope he will be in team training again from Sunday on. But we have to see.”

Fabinho is looking good and there isn't a better left back in the league than Robertson so that would be good news.

Seriously hope Bournemouth try and play football, think we could put a few past them

Matip is going to be targetted by Wilson and Fraser, would be good to see Henderson play deep and offer Matip some assistance.
 
OK, so Lovren, Clyne and Mane not available. I guess it will be Trent, Matip and Origi instead. I wonder what "Plan B" Klopp was talking about for back-up to Trent. The journalist tried to press him for specifics, but all Klopp was willing to say was "you will see." I actually think it could be Gini.
