Thiago To Start, Fabinho On The Bench: Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Leicester

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out either Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho for tomorrow’s game against Leicester so for this starting line up prediction, we’ll assume that both players are available.

Alisson Becker will start in goal, with James Milner likely to line up at right-back in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence. Joel Matip and Nat Phillips may start at centre-back with Fabinho only expected to be used from the bench with manager Jurgen Klopp unlikely to risk the Brazilian who has just returned from a hamstring injury. Andy Robertson should be fit to feature at left-back.

In midfield, captain Jordan Henderson’s absence will hopefully be filled by Thiago, with Georginio Wijnaldum and Naby Keita taking up the other two places in the middle of the park.

Up front, with Mo Salah ruled out after testing positive for the virus, Diogo Jota could start from the right, with Roberto Firmino as the centre forward and Sadio Mane playing from the left flank.

Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Leicester:

Alisson, Milner, Matip, Phillips, Robertson, Keita, Thiago, Wijnaldum, Diogo Jota, Firmino, Mane
