CM – Thiago

The Spanish international is yet to have a goal or an assist in a Liverpool shirt but his performances have been fairly decent although a lot more can come from him. Thiago will be expected to create chances for his teammates through his precise passing this weekend.

CM – Jordan Henderson

With the presence of Kabak, Klopp can afford to have one of his makeshift centre-halves back in midfield. Henderson will most likely start against Leicester in the position where he excels most- in the middle of the park. He has done well as a defender and would’ve been a suitable option at centre-back but his presence in midfield is needed if Liverpool are to improve.

Henderson will be looking to aid his team defensively and offensively. His long balls from midfield could come in handy.

CM – Georginio Wijnaldum

The third midfield spot will most probably be taken by the Dutchman ahead of Curtis Jones. Wijnaldum has done a good job for Liverpool from midfield through his overall game. The 30-year-old will be looking to work hard on the pitch as usual and be heavily involved in the link-up play with his teammates on Saturday.
