No.2 – Jordan Henderson
There was a big question about whether or not the captain would be fit to start against Spurs. He played for England with a niggle and many thought he would be rested for James Milner last weekend. As it turns out, he was fit and both Englishmen started.
That pair were underwhelming against Tottenham, especially in the second half and Klopp brought on Fabinho and Divock Origi as they tried to get the winner.
I don’t know a Liverpool fan who wouldn’t start Fabinho in every game for the rest of the season. Conventional wisdom says Klopp sees what the Brazilian did after coming on and puts him straight back in the starting line-up at the cost of Henderson.
However I have seen enough of how the manager thinks to predict he will buck our wishes and put faith in his captain.
If you’re not bracing yourself for a Gini, Hendo, Milner midfield on Sunday, you’ve not been paying attention.

I am not one to decry Henderson. I think he is a very good player who gets a crap-ton of undeserved criticism. He will get the job done. We don’t need to worry. But I would play Fabinho.
