Paul Gorst - Less fringe players get a run-out
The big question this week is whether Jurgen Klopp decides to trim the number of players used during the friendlies significantly. So far, the Liverpool boss has largely opted to field three teams in each match, but with the Austria leg of the tour signalling a step up in fitness work, might we see less of the fringe players getting a run-out?
I think that might be part of the thinking so my team is going to reflect that. No Alisson Becker so I expect Adrian to start behind a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nat Phillips, Virgil van Dijk and Kostas Tsimikas. Andy Robertson, Ibou Konate and Joel Matip can wait for the second half. Joe Gomez can deputise at right-back.
