Liverpool aren’t far away from having all their midfielders back to full fitness and Klopp my have a selection dilemma in this department for Saturday’s fixture.

Fabinho’s return to fitness is a massive boost for the Reds and he should start against Norwich. Skipper Jordan Henderson has been in really good form this season and will most likely be on the pitch. The 29-year-old has been scoring a few goals lately and might be eager to increase his tally.

The third midfield spot will most likely be taken by Georginio Wijnaldum. Lallana, who scored the late winner in that famous match nearly four years ago, will have to settle for a place on the bench but Klopp might bring him on as a substitute.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the player who can feel hard done by here. He’s done nothing to warrant being left out of the side but will be sacrificed in order to get Fabinho up to full speed ahead of Athletico Madrid and is a handy option as an impact sub.
