(Editor’s note: this Liverpool starting XI prediction and corresponding analysis was composed by Will Willems (@willdub88)
Liverpool kick off their EFL campaign today on the road at Burton Albion. With a big test on the road at White Hart Lane on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp will most likely rest several of the Reds key players for Tuesday’s battle. Liverpool fans probably won’t be seeing Daniel Sturridge, Phillipe Countinho, Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane in the attack.
Joel Matip and Marko Grujic should make their first starts for Liverpool, with Emre Can and Divock Origi also getting their first starting nods of the season.
Emre Can will anchor the midfield in the pivot with Grujic and Wijnaldum just ahead of him. Kevin Stewart could get a look in the midfield as well.
GK: Simon Mignolet
RB – Nathaniel Clyne CB- Joel Matip CB- Dejan Lovren LB Alberto Moreno
DM – Emre Can
MID – Marko Grujic MID- Georginio Wijnaldum
RW – Lazar Markovic FW- Divock Origi LW – Adam Lallana
