Hopefully Henderson and Matip are back. I'd like a midfield of Lallana, Henderson and Wijnaldum and a front three of Origi, Firmino and Coutinho. I'd play Origi down the right to replicate Mane's pace and have Firmino in the middle because he's much better there than out wide.
Yep this makes most sense to me.
We need pace up top and only Origi has it (who is available) and Firmino has been woeful on the left so needs deploying where he has been most effective. Coutinho's return is a huge boost. Whoever covers for Matip (assume Klavan if Matip isn't ready) will be fending off long balls, Zlatan's nose and Fellaini's elbows all game so let's hope he is up to it.
That settled midfield from earlier in the season is an option for us again so we must go with that and hopefully find that mojo again.
I never look forward to these games, especially at OT, but hopefully we can play to our potential and show them why the league table looks like it does.
