Fabinho

The Brazilian has got experience at right-back, and has recently played there for Brazil. But Klopp doesn’t seem to want Fabinho there.

But as a third-choice, the former AS Monaco man isn’t a bad one. The choice Klopp needs to make is how important the midfielder is in the middle of the park, as opposed to on the flank.

Fabinho has started to come into his own recently, and his physical presence is giving Liverpool an excellent shield. Fab also has the knack of winning loads of headers and being in the right place at the right time.

Once again, this would be a slightly more conservative choice at right-back. Like Clyne, Fab would offer less going forward and cause Klopp to compromise on his values. A tough choice.
