Liverpool play Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final, but is there space for Joel Matip or James Milner in the side? Read our predicted XI here!

The good news for the Reds is that nearly everyone is fit for the game on Saturday night, apart from the unlucky Naby Keita.

Spurs will be in uncharted territory when they take to the field in Madrid. Up until the very last moment against Ajax in their semi-final nobody thought Mauricio Pochettino would be overseeing his boys take on Liverpool.

But that’s why we love football so much.

Of course, Jurgen Klopp will be keen to avenge the heartbreaking loss in last season’s Champions League final. Mohamed Salah will want to complete the full 90 minutes, while Alisson Becker won’t commit the type of mistakes that lead to Loris Karius ending his Reds career.

But who will start in the massive game? Well most of the side will be fairly settled, but there are a few question marks over key positions.

So scroll down and click through the slides below to read who we think is going to start the Champions League final!

Alisson Becker

No debate, argument or reasoning required with this one. Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers around and a big performance from the Brazilian will go a long way to sending Liverpool home as European champions.
