Liverpool travel to Old Trafford tonight to face Manchester United in desperate need for three points, and José Enrique has revealed his preferred Reds XI for the game.

Jurgen Klopp's side head into the fixture with various injury and suspension issues which means heavy debate has sparked among the club’s fanbase over who should start for the Reds this evening.

At the back, Enrique believes 3 of the back 5 who started against Palace should retain their places as per his Twitter.

The Spaniard believes Alisson will keep his place between the sticks, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Andy Robertson continuing to start ahead of him though.

Enrique thus anticipates one change in the backline, with Joe Gomez coming in for Nat Phillips.

Gomez is widely expected to start tonight after enjoying an injury free week of training with Liverpool. He only managed to play the last 30 minutes last Monday.

In the engine room, Enrique would like to see one change made.

Harvey Elliott and Fabinho both performed adequately last week, so they keep their places, but James Milner should be dropped for this one according to Enrique.

He believes club captain Jordan Henderson should replace the 36-year-old in Jürgen Klopp’s starting XI this time around.


Henderson struggled against Fulham on the opening day, but played well during pre-season, so Klopp would be wise to give him his starting berth back for this one.

As for the front three, one change will have to be made due to Darwin Nuñez’s suspension.

Firmino returns to the starting XI tonight in place of Nuñez in Enrique prediction, with Mo Salah and Luis Diaz playing either side of him.

After Manchester City dropped points against Newcastle yesterday, an opportunity has arisen for Liverpool to make ground on their key rivals for the Premier League title.

And as such, nothing less than three points will satisfy Jürgen Klopp this evening.
