If everyone's healthy 10 of 11 names pick themselves.
The only spot that's really open for debate is the No.8 spot next to Henderson. Jones played 90 against Norwich which probably rules him out to start. Keita came off after 45 which suggests he was being saved for the weekend and should start. Milner was rested too but that seems to have been precautionary to guard against Trent possibly not being able to feature again at RB.
I'd expect to see this lineup, which is essentially our strongest team:
Allison
Trent Matip Van Dijk Robertson
Fabinho
Henderson Keita
Salah Jota Mane
Bench: Kelleher, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Milner, Jones, Ox, Firmino, Minamino
Injured: Neco, Thiago, Elliott
Not in squad: Bradley, Morton, Gordon, Origi
One would think that the lineup for Porto in midweek would then be something like the lineup below. Depending on how strong Klopp wants to go against Porto perhaps he'll rotate one or two players in the Brentford game, but whatever the case I'd expect the Brentford lineup to be close to our Best XI, and the lineup against Porto to be the one that features more rotation. We're in a good position in the CL group and have City on the horizon after all, so it makes sense to have that approach.
Allison
?? Konate Gomez Tsimikas

?? Jones
Salah Firmino Origi
