Liverpool face their 6th away game of the season tonight against Championship strugglers Derby County, a Jurgen Klopp is expected to make several changes.
Pre-match news:
* Klopp on Karius: “Yes [he will start] if nothing happens".
* Klopp on Can: "He’s available and now he can collect match time. How much, if he starts or not - no decision until now".
* Klopp on Ings: "Danny is working hard and good, but...we have a lot of strikers. He is close".
* Klopp on Firmino: "Roberto is in training...so he is in [for Derby]”.
* Klopp on Derby: "They have not scored that many goals but they created a lot of chances and some of them were really unlucky. [They have] good quality and a very experienced manager.”
In my view, this game is a perfect opportunity for personnel changes, with one exception: there should be minimal disruption to the defensive unit.
It's vital that the defence - particularly the central defensive partnership - builds up rhythm/rapport, and that only comes with playing together regularly. As such, I'd like to see the following team:
------------ Karius
Clyne -- Lovren - Matip ---- Milner
--- Grujic --- Can --- Ejaria
Mane ------ Ings/Origi ---- Coutinho
Rested: Sturridge, Firmino, Wijnaldum (all three missed training on Monday). Henderson (give his heel a rest). Lallana (On the bench).
* Karius: Reportedly on £60k-a-week. Ejaria: described by Michael Beale as 'unbelievable'. Sturridge: £30m-rated. Firmino: £32m-rated. Wijnaldum: Cost £25m.
