Handful of changes mooted for Liverpool on Tuesday

Whilst Jurgen Klopp has said that Liverpool need to find their rhythm to achieve consistency and form, there is an expectation that some changes will be made to the Reds line-up against Rangers on Tuesday.

As witnessed again on Saturday against Brighton, there are clearly some issues in the previous steamroller that was Klopp’s Liverpool though they are still a formidable force.

They have conceded nine goals across their last five games in all competitions whilst the previous game before that was the 9-0 mauling of Bournemouth. Klopp and Liverpool are still trying to figure things out in this campaign which Rangers must use to their advantage. Any chance to frustrate and disrupt has to be capitalised on.

For the Champions League game, it has been suggested that Liverpool will introduce some changes. This is in addition to the existing absences of the quartet consisting of  Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

This Is Anfield has suggested that:

“Many will be looking out for Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s name on the team sheet, whether that be in the XI or on the bench and one would not be surprised if Joe Gomez takes his place.”

Harvey Elliott, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez may also come into the side to freshen up the midfield and the forward line – Liverpool must, at the very least, match Rangers’ energy.”

More than three changes would be something of a surprise but Liverpool will still possess quality all over the pitch regardless of the personnel chosen from the start. The task ahead for Rangers is to find a way to suppress all that their hosts will have at their disposal.
