      After this midfields poor display in the week, I’m not confident. Fab is a huge miss.

      Need Salah to keep his fine run of goals going and Jota to regain his composure.

      No shock the defence has changed, it had been letting in a lot of goals so good to try a different pairing.

      Some surprises with our team, but they're playing with four attackers who don't defend or press, Bruno, Rashford, Greenwood and Ronaldo. They're committing suicide.

      I see 4 goalscorers/ match winners there ... outside of salah I'm struggling to see who is going to win it for us.

      With next to no creativity in midfield I'm hoping we can use the full backs well today. But again without fabinho there to cover for them I'm worried. This is why I would have gone 4231 and had milner and hendo anchored in front. This midfield in a 433 didn't function in Madrid and offered little protection to the back 4. Hoping they are better today.

      Thiago wasn't serious or long term according to Jürgen yet where is he? If fab has a knee injury I doubt we will see him for the foreseeable as it seems when our players are injured it takes a while for them to get back.

      Big difference, Fab was able to play on, Thiago wasn’t. Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.

      I actually thought Mane was injured and not just dropped to the bench.

      Interesting selection there.

      I'd rather have had Fabinho there and Henderson still isn't on top form but I think the occasion will make him raise his game.

      You'd wonder if Fab had a bit of a knock going into the Athletico match after him not starting, even though he missed the PL game on the weekend

      Very true mate ... which makes it even more baffling and concerning he can't even make the bench today when he was charging around with this knee injury 5 days ago. Hopefully back for Brighton but I wouldn't count on it.

      Jürgen just saying there on Sky the changes are just selection decisions.  So at least he's not injured anyway.

      Impact injury from a collision I believe it was so every chance there’s bruising there. Personally I’d expect him back next week, whether that’s on the bench or starting remains to be seen but I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about or we’d have heard about it before now.

      Yes I'd concur with that. Head wants us to man up at the back, get a clean sheet and take our chances when we get them. But I agree, we will need 3 to get anything today as I cant see us conceding less than 3.

      In these games it comes to who wants it most sometimes. We are away from home, they will raise their game and if we don't match them we won't get anything.

      They will look to start fast and we need to be ready. No coming out half asleep today. As much as their crowd will be up we can turn them against ole again and increase the anger levels with a quick start and hopefully get ahead.

      Huge opportunity to smash these today, even given the changes in our lineup!

      Mane is set to come on 2nd half... Klopp obviously setting us up that way for a reason. Probably be a lot more interchange with Salah, Firmino and Jota. Hopefully Jota can get back on the scoresheet today!

      Hope so mate. Such a vital cog in the team. Gutted to see his name not on the sheet. I'd play 4231 and tell hendo and milner to drop anchor and protect and stop Fernández getting into that space whilst covering our backline.

      Getting tight to Fernandes you’d assume would be key because a lot of the time he gets the ball and just boots it long so will no doubt look to do the same and get their pace in behind our high line.

      If I’m playing this game though and up against Rashford, knowing he’s been struggling with a dead leg that forced him off in the week, I’d be nailing him early on to try and set that issue back a bit.

      Thiago doesn’t heal quickly does he - he never misses 1 game always about 7
