LFC easily beat Maribor on the road and should have no trouble at home.
Of course, just saying that is tempting fate with the soccer script writers!
Starting XI:
Klopp is a creature of habit and he will use Karius in goal.
As for the back four:
Moreno - amazingly, he is number 4 in minutes played for the club after barely playing last season.
Alexander-Arnold (Klopp likes to rotate his youth so Gomez rests and AA gets the call)
Matip - the man with the most minutes on the field this season
The last spot will be filled with either Lovren or Klavan. Klavin should get the start even if Lovren is largely recovered from injury - update he is not. I think Lovren needs the break from the grind.
Midfield:
Wijnaldum, Henderson, Can.
I think, for rest purposes, Milner will be rotated out and Can rotated in. An intriguing option would be to put in Oxlade-Chamberlain instead.
Front:
Salah, Firmino, Coutinho (if healthy - update he is not). Sturridge is in if Couthinho isn't ready to go. An intriguing option here would be to play Solanke instead.
Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Solanke will get minutes, it is just whether any one of them gets a start. And, if LFC can jump out to a big early lead, the sooner you will see them worked into the line-up to give the big guns a break.
Rambling about soccer: LA Galaxy, IF Elfsborg, Falkenbergs FF, Liverpool FC, Queens Park Rangers, and LAFC. Also random rambling about Star Trek, LA sports (Dodgers, UCLA, Kings, Lakers, Rams), politics (centrist), faith (Christian), and life. Send comments to rrblog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
