Liverpool will face off against AC Milan at San Siro this Tuesday night as they look to secure a victory on their travels in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at Anfield recently, so they would be eager to bounce back with a positive result in midweek.
Arne Slot will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this game. Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo would get a chance to play from the start of this contest.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face AC Milan
Defence
Alisson Becker will continue to function in goal for the Merseyside club after conceding a goal in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will play alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of Slot’s defence as they try to keep the AC Milan attackers frustrated throughout the game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will try to make a difference from the right-back spot while Andrew Robertson continues to operate on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the final third.
Joe Gomez will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch will anchor the midfield for the Reds as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition in the middle of the park. The talented trio of Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah will operate just ahead of them as part of Liverpool’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Merseyside giants are to come away with a win from San Siro this week.
Curtis Jones and Luis Diaz will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Attack
Darwin Nunez will lead the charge for Liverpool up top. He would be eager to put his pace to good use against the AC Milan backline this Tuesday night.
Diogo Jota has to settle for a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine as a late-game substitute if required.
