Liverpool are expected to make significant changes for their Europa League group-stage match against Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday, with Jurgen Klopp considering the effects of a run of five games in 15 days and a crucial week featuring key meetings with Man United, West Ham and Arsenal coming up.
Klopp has every reason to name an unfamiliar starting XI, with Caoimhin Kelleher set to replace Alisson in goal, Conor Bradley and Luke Chambers to start at right and left-back respectively, and Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah to play as third and fourth-choice centre-backs.
In midfield, Wataru Endo is expected to take on the anchor role, with Harvey Elliott and James McConnell alongside him. Up top, Cody Gakpo might be worth calling up for a 60-minute runout, Ben Doak is the obvious pick to come in for Mohamed Salah on the right flank, and Kaide Gordon is expected to shine on the opposite flank.
