Somehow I hope this is a rumour that won't come true. They are most likely gonna play a lone striker. So let's just go with a standard back 4. Can should definitely get a start, and Lucas doesn't deserve one after his last outing. Markovic needs game time. He had a pretty dismal outing last time but he seems to be starting to settle in and I wouldn't interrupt that.
That is most likely a standard back-4, rather than a 3-4-3
Mignolet
Manquillo-Skrtel-Sakho-Moreno
Can-Lucas
Lallana-Henderson-Coutinho
Sterling
None of the guys deserve a start after the last outing. But we need to field 11, don't we? Stevie isn't exactly sparkling and cant play 3 games in a week. Allen is injured, who do you wanna start alongside Can? We could push Hendo back, move Coutinho to the middle and start Markovic. But the latter has good pace, something that could be exploited in the last 30 mins against Williams and Rangel.
The most likely subs in the game would be Stevie for Lucas, Markovic for Lallana and Mario/Borini for Coutinho. Sterling would probably start the Leicester game from the bench
