      Not sure Kabak is fit enough yet but even so I’d prefer Phillips next to Fabinho, we can’t gamble with a Phillips/Williams, Phillips/Davies, Kabak/Phillips as CB’s, so unfortunately Fabinho has to be one of them,


      I’d go....Alisson, Trent, Phillips, Fabinho, Robbo, Gini, Keita, Jones, Jota, Salah Mane

         Bench.. Adrian, Neco, Kabak, Milner, Thiago, Shaqiri,Firmino, Tsimikas, Origi, Souness


      F**k knows how we will play, just hope we can put our domestic woes behind us for 95mins and finish the job off without too many dramas.

      Has UK government said when fans would be allowed in the stands again?

      You might get the odd person for the last couple of games, should be back to full capacity next season

      Biggest game of the season given our horrendous capitulation in the league. I'd be very surprised not to see Fab back in defence where he has been excellent all season until the injury. I'd go for:

                                 Alisson

      Trent            Fabinhon           Kabak          Robbo


                               Gini        Thiago

                                     Jones

        Salah                     Jota                    Mane

      There probably isn't a worse European country for the Leipzig and Liverpool players to be travelling to right now.

      Suspect it would have been safer by a magnitude of at least ten for Leipzig to travel to Anfield.

      Hungarians on Monday awoke to a new round of strict lockdown measures aimed at slowing a record-breaking wave of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths that are among the worst in the world.

      A rapid rise in pandemic indicators since early February prompted Hungary's government to announce the new restrictions, including closing most stores for two weeks and kindergartens and primary schools until April 7.

      Mind you, in terms of qualification for the next round its probably safer that Liverpool don't play at home.

      I'd prefer Keita instead of Wijnaldum but doubt he's going to after his first full 90 minutes back.

      Thiago has looked more interested in the CL than the Premier League so he can play as well.

      I'd play

      Alisson

      Trent Rhys/Kabak Nat Fab Robbo

      Thiago Gini

      Jota

      Salah  Mane


      ie a 5-2-1-2 formation, very defensive but enough of a counter attacking threat to keep Leipzig on their toes. We have to start protecting our defence more, start getting some clean sheets/draws and then build back from there.

      We briefly saw what we’ve been missing when Fabinho came on in the midfield for the last 15 against Fulham, but he has to play in the back four in Europe otherwise it’s a car crash waiting to happen.  A pairing of phillips with either rhys or kabak would be suicide against decent opposition.

      I’ve also had it with Gini now, he turns up every week but actually does nothing. Keita plays for me too. I don’t think playing him for a game and then leaving him out for three has ever done him any good. He needs a consistent run of games so his body can get used to the demand. Keep playing him.

      Alisson

      Trent
      Phillips
      Fabinho
      Robbo

      Thiago
      Milner
      Keita

      Mane
      Jota
      Salah

      I wasn’t impressed with this lot the first time around and I think one goal will see us through.

      Don’t know Brian but we need Fab in the middle of the park alongside Keita on the right & Thiago.. these 3 will give defensive cover for our fullbacks bombing forward..

      We need to play 3 CB's, sit deep and hit them on the counter attack, unless our players are unable to handle a change in formation /tactics.

      Tough ask to get another 90 out of Jota but no options now really as Shaq/Origi just aren't viable options for a game like this. Think Fab needs to go back into defence for this one as well.

      Wonder if they'll play Hwang from the start tomorrow, his pace in behind worries me.

      We're stronger up top without Bobby as he offers zero goal threat and loses possession regularly. Just hope Jota is ok to start another game in quick succession.

      Actually I think you probably could use Origi in a game like this, to a certain extent, IF you set up as more of a counter attacking team. I'd actually be tempted to start Origi and then if we somehow find ourselves needing to chase a goal we can bring on Jota or Mane.

      Is that guy Ben Davies fit?  I thought I saw videos of him in training, but I can't remember if he's ever been in a match day squad.  If he is fit, he must be really bad to find himself behind Kabak, Rhys, Nat, etc. 

      The CL is all we have to play for now.  Hopefully Klopp can find a way to make us a little more defensively resilient while maintaining a threat on the counter.  If we can find the right balance of that, we could actually still win this thing.  It's just a matter of grinding out results and getting a little bit of luck in the right moments.
