Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been giving some strong takes on a few topics lately: fixture congestion, the schedule makers, VAR, it’s impact on the game. With his Reds being front-runners in so many competitions this season, the matches are coming fast and furious.
Before they get to the headliner Premier League fixture of all league fixtures, Sunday at Manchester City (the mind games have already started for that blockbuster clash), they have a UCL date vs. Genk at home in midweek. Perhaps this clash provides a chance to rotate his side a little? They will need to rest their big guns at some point.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at what the German might do with his starting XI for this UCL fixture.
