      Very difficult to guess how Jürgen will pick the eleven here but whatever team he does choose will have enough to get the job done!

      Red Star were the perfect European team for the front three to start clicking into gear and without complacency, Cardiff at Anfield should be the perfect league game! 4-0 Reds again!  :kop5cf8koxp6:

      Surely Fabinho starts after a great performance, same for Shaqiri.

      Front 3 the same.

      Salah, Mane and Firmino to all score again :)

      I would tbh still think Hendo has part to play when we are away or could be under fish but against teams like Cardiff Fabinho offers more direct threat going forward which we need

      Keita for who though? Wijnaldum was so good.

      It’s going to be interesting once everyone’s fit

      Absolutely,  same again for cardiff, maybe think about a spot of tinkering for the arse but one game at a time as the old cliche goes

      I know, finally proper competition in midfield, plus the ability to make a sub without losing quality and even make a sub to change things up. Must be lovely for Jürgen to finally have some options in the centre of the park.

      Cardiff is going to be entirely different than last night remember who there manager is WARNOCK. He hates us and will delight in kicking Mo and Bobby off the pitch. This is a game where Milner will excel and so would Henderson so it will be interesting to see what Jürgen does we have a really good strong squad and this is going to be a long successful season

      Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita have been ruled out of Liverpool's Champions League tie with Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night.

      Henderson – who will also miss the weekend visit of Cardiff City in the Premier League – was taken off with a hamstring issue at half-time against Huddersfield Town last Saturday.

      Keita has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring strain on international duty earlier this month. He is back running at Melwood but the Reds’ third Group C fixture comes too soon for him to feature.

      "It’s not too good, to be honest," Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com when asked about Henderson's condition. "It’s nothing we have to worry too much about, but it’s a hamstring issue so we will have to see. He will not be available for tomorrow for sure, and probably not Cardiff, but hopefully then he can be back. We will see."

      Meanwhile, Klopp confirmed Keita has taken a positive step forward in his recovery, but won't be involved tomorrow night.

      "Naby is already outside running, but the game tomorrow will be too early for sure," he said.

      I can see a couple of changes for this match but pretty much be the same team that we saw mid-week. Game should be more physical then vs Red Star but we should be looking for similar result where keep clean sheet and have a handful of goals.

      -------------------Alisson-------------------
      TAA--------VvD-----------Lovern----Robbo
      -----Milner------Fabinho-----Shaqiri-------
      --Salah----------Firmino------------Mane--

      We are at a point where we have quality depth in every position.  I expect Jürgen to make 1 or 2 changes in almost every game to help keep players fresh.  Milner could come on for Gini or Shaq.  Studge could come on for any of the front 3.  Lovren could come on for Gomez.  Etc.  None of these changes would be detrimental to the quality of the side.  It's a great thing for Jürgen to have so many options, and a great thing for Liverpool fans. 

      I think we're due a big win in the league.  Going for a 5-0 for the Reds!!

      With no game midweek, there shouldn't be much need to rest anyone, so it's just a matter of Jürgen's thoughts about team and system. I see a few here suggesting Gomez moves to the bench and I don't get that one at all. Lovren may come in, but if he does, I expect Joe to move to right back.

      The midfield three might post some questions. Shaquiri is the best we have at the moment re unlocking defenses (I had though Keita would be this player for us this season, but not thus far), so if Jürgen can tolerate whatever is lacking on the defensive side, he may get the nod again. Otherwise, Milner would come back in. I expect Gini and Fab to both be on.

      There won't be nearly as much space to operate in on Saturday, so I'm  not expecting another 4-0.

      Feels too defensive and why would you rest Mane, he didn’t play against Huddersfield. The front 3 are getting their mojo back...

      Against Cardiff I'd be going for the throat from the get go, we have 10 goal deficit on Shitty and that has to close, so a perfect opportunity to do just that, i would go with this.......

                               Allisson
          Trent Gomez Virgil Robertson
                             Fabinho
                  Milner              Wijnaldom
                     Salah Firmino Mane

      No F***ing about,  put the Taffs to the sword and get us on a unstoppable charge to the Title!!

      Only change I can see is Gomez in at RB with Lovren at CB but Im assuming Cardiff are a long ball team if not then we go with the same team as against Red Star as it was very fluent.

      3 - 0
