Robertson, Frimpong And Mamardashvili To Start | 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Atletico Madrid | OneFootball

Liverpool will entertain Atletico Madrid at Anfield this Wednesday night as they look to begin their UEFA Champions League campaign with a win at home. The Reds managed to earn a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Burnley recently, which should keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.

Arne Slot will set his players in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his starting XI for this contest. Andy Robertson, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili could all play from the start of this game.

Defence

Giorgi Mamardashvili will operate in goal for the Reds as he looks to keep a clean sheet at Anfield. Virgil Van Dijk will play alongside Ibrahima Konate at the heart of Slot’s defence as they look to keep the opposition at bay throughout the game.

Jeremie Frimpong will feature as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will anchor the midfield for the Merseyside club as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Federico Chiesa, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah will function just ahead of them as part of the Liverpool attack. All three of them need to combine well if they want to create enough chances for the Reds to earn a convincing win this Wednesday night.

Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai will be rested on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Hugo Ekitike will once again lead the charge for the Merseyside giants up top. The French striker would be eager to find the back of the net after shooting blanks against Burnley last weekend.

Alexander Isak is expected to be named on the bench as he waits for their chance to shine in the latter stages of the game if Liverpool are in need of a goal by then.
