Jurgen Klopp berdepan keputusan sukar Darwin Nunez ketika Liverpool memikirkan perubahan bahagian tengah

Liverpool seterusnya menentang Real Madrid dalam Liga Juara-Juara dengan Jurgen Klopp berdepan beberapa pemain pilihan

Liverpool terus membina momentum yang amat diperlukan dengan kemenangan penting ke atas pesaing empat teratas, Newcastle United pada petang Sabtu.

Gol awal Darwin Nunez dan Cody Gakpo membolehkan The Reds mencatat kejayaan 2-0 ke atas Magpies yang terdiri daripada 10 pemain. Liverpool kini akan berusaha untuk mula menangani rekod buruk baru-baru ini menentang Real Madrid apabila mereka melayan pemain Sepanyol itu pada pusingan pertama pusingan 16 Liga Juara-Juara pada hari Selasa.

Dan di sini kita melihat ke hadapan kepada perubahan yang boleh dilakukan oleh Jurgen Klopp apabila pasukannya beraksi seterusnya.

Lembaran bersih kedua berturut-turut bermakna, jika kecederaan mengizinkan, Liverpool berkemungkinan besar akan mengekalkan kepercayaan kepada barisan belakang yang melakukan tugas di St James’ Park pada hujung minggu.

Virgil van Dijk kembali sebagai bek tengah selepas enam minggu tanpa penampilan, dengan Joe Gomez lebih suka Joel Matip sebagai pasangannya. Dengan Ibrahima Konate masih diketepikan akibat masalah hamstring, Nat Phillips dan Rhys Williams adalah pilihan lain.

Trent Alexander-Arnold sangat mengagumkan sekali lagi dan harus kekal di bek kanan. Calvin Ramsay diketepikan untuk musim ini, meninggalkan James Milner dan Gomez sebagai dua alternatif yang tidak mungkin untuk Klopp.

At left-back, Andy Robertson remains ahead of Kostas Tsimikas while, in goal, Alisson Becker underlined his position as first-choice with an excellent display at Newcastle.

Middle change?

Even with Thiago Alcantara out, there are sufficient numbers for Liverpool to consider changes in midfield after Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Stefan Bajcetic started a second successive game inside six days at the weekend.

Milner was enthusiastic in a cameo during the final half-hour, while Naby Keita is fresh having remained benched. Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain once again failed to make the matchday squad, but with 12 players allowed on the bench in the Champions League compared to nine in domestic competitions, there is greater scope for involvement on Tuesday.

Arthur Melo, who warmed up with the squad at Newcastle before kick-off despite not being included, is another possibility among the substitutes.

Nunez wait

Kebimbangan kecederaan Nunez untuk Liverpool menjelang pertembungan Real

How Liverpool line up in attack may depend on the availability of Darwin Nunez, who sustained a shoulder injury at the weekend.

If the Uruguayan is passed fit, he will most likely start on the left with Mohamed Salah on the right. Klopp would then perhaps have to decide between the form of Cody Gakpo or the knowhow of fit-again Roberto Firmino down the centre.

Should Nunez not make it, the choice would then be whether to move Gakpo to the left and recall Firmino down the middle or play Diogo Jota on the left and Firmino central, although the latter seems unreasonably risky given both have just returned from long periods on the sidelines.

Harvey Elliott dan Fabio Carvalho adalah pilihan lain di sayap, tetapi Luis Diaz belum bersedia untuk dipertimbangkan.
