I would play dele and Eriksen either side of sissoko, with Lucas and son either side of Kane, that way you prevent Robertson and Trent pushing forward, with 25 assist between them, only way to beat Liverpool, the last 2 away games we deserved something on both games, look at Southampton game, Trent is their big weakness defending which they exploited in the 1st half and I think Son could rip him a new one
We need to match Liverpool’s set up otherwise we’ll get overrun. To do this is relatively straightforward but comes at an unpopular sacrifice.
Son Kane Moura v Mane Firmino Salah
We need pace on both sides for both our attacking play and to keep their full backs pinned back/to protect our full backs.
Winks Sissoko Eriksen v Wijnaldum Fabinho Henderson
This is the main battle ground, Liverpool pack the central midfield with hard workers. Therefore to match them we need Sissoko for his energy and strength, Winks for his deep-lying passing ability and calmness and Eriksen for his creativity. This would mean leaving Alli out. We can’t play Eriksen and Alli in central midfield as they’re both way to attack minded and we’ve been bullied this season when we’ve gone down this route.
Rose Jan Toby Aurier v Robertson VD ? TAA
Pace and strength v pace and strength. Playing Trippier against Mane and Robertson = recipe for disaster and even more so if we opt to only play one of Son and Moura... will leave us lopsided and short of pace on the cover on either the left or right flank.
Lloris v Alisson
This is a given.
