Liverpool vs Leicester: A new right-back and no Shaqiri? Predicting the XI

Forwards: Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah, Sadio Mane

Who else but these three would compose the frontal portion of Liverpool’s line up? Their excellence is widely known and a plethora of examples can prove it to be true. They were accountable for all four of the Red’s goals last game.

This is the front three of a 4-3-3 shape that is being employed out of necessity due to injuries. Here Firmino would occupy a deeper role as a centre forward, one that is indeed vastly natural to him. Mane and Salah would take up the left and right flanks, respectively. This is the standard lineup that has carried Liverpool to countless victories.

As sturdy as Leicester can prove to be, Liverpool’s attack is just that much more consistent and reliable. Even if pushed, as they were last August, Klopp’s men will find a path to success. This will be the case only if they remain responsible defensively. It would be quite surprised if they drop points in this match due to a lack of scoring.

This makes for an interesting match up amongst good clubs and it should not disappoint
