With Leeds United out of form and several 50-50 selection calls for Jesse Marsch to make away at a Premier League giant, it’s next to impossible to predict what line-up he ends up with. If we assume all of the questionable injury doubts are ruled out for the sake of argument, it at least gives us a solid core of players to pick from.
The backline revolves around how Marsch wants to use Diego Llorente or Junior Firpo, if at all. Neither has played at a consistently high level since arriving at Elland Road and Marsch may have some reservations about them, especially at Anfield.
The extreme option could be to utilise Luke Ayling in the centre with Robin Koch, making space for Rasmus Kristensen at right-back and Pascal Struijk at left-back. However, one look at the tape from Liverpool away last season will show Marsch how Ayling struggled in that berth.
