Liverpool vs. Midtjylland: Preview, Team News, and Ways to Watch

The Reds host the Danish champions as they look to topple
Atalanta from the top of group D.

Liverpool vs Midtjylland

| Tuesday, October 27th |Champions League | Anfield8PM BST /
3PM EST

In the middle of their first real fixture congestion of the
season, and coming off a scrappy 1-0 away win over Ajax last week,
Liverpool look to continue their bid for top position
in their Champions League group, hosting relative minnow
Midtjylland.

The reigning Danish Superliga champions have started their
league campaign well enough, separated from top position on goal
difference after collecting 13 points from their opening six
fixtures, identical to the position tomorrow’s opponents find
themselves in.

Things have not gone so well in the Champions League, however,
as the Wolves were demolished 4-0 by a rampant Atalanta last week,
and another loss here in the Thomas Gronnemark derby would likely
see their European ambitions smashed before they even begin.

Manager Brian Priske will be able to call on a full-strength
side, though, including top scorers Anders Dreyer and former Celta
Vigo man Pione Sisto.

Projected Liverpool Lineup (4-3-3)

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson; Wijnaldum,
Henderson, Milner; Mané, Firmino, Salah

The surprise return of Alisson boosted Jürgen Klopp’s side at
the weekend, with the Brazilian saving the only non-penalty shot he
faced against Sheffield United. Joël Matip will be assessed on the
night, but is likely to miss out, and a return to the centre-back
pairing of Joe Gomez and Fabinho appears to be on the
cards.

In midfield, Naby Keïta and Thiago are in a similar situation,
and the pair are unlikely to make an appearance, making a midfield
trio of Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and James Milner

That is assuming Klopp reverts to his familiar tactics following
the 4-2-3-1 experiment at the weekend. While it yielded a win — and
a first Premier League goal from Diogo Jota — the counter-press
looked disjointed and the front four out of sync in transition, so
whether the gaffer decides to stick with what’s familiar, use his
depth, or simply make his depth option starters again remains to be
seen.

Regardless, with five substitutions, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané and Takumi Minamino
are likely to all see minutes tomorrow night.

What the Managers Said

Jürgen Klopp: “They [are] a football-playing
side, they have different ideas depending on what the opponent is
doing, they are flexible as well, so it’s a challenge. It’s a real
challenge and that’s what we have to be ready for.”

Brian Priske: “*incomprehensible Danish*.”
