Liverpool will clash heads with Milton Keynes Done at the Stadium MK on Wednesday night on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 win over Chelsea last weekend. The Reds are flying high in the Premier League, so this Carabao Cup match would be a welcome change for them as Jurgen Klopp will be able to rest most of his first-team starters this week. The Merseyside club will set-up in a 4-3-3 formation with Rhian Brewster and Harvey Elliot expected to get a start in the offensive end of the field. Here is our 4-3-3 Liverpool predicted lineup Vs Milton Keynes Dons
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Milton Keynes Dons
Defence
Adrian should keep his place in goal for the Reds as he is expected to be benched once Alisson Becker comes back from his injury in the coming weeks. The Liverpool new boy, Sepp van den Berg might get a chance to lineup alongside Dejan Lovren if he can pass a late fitness test. Both centre-backs would look to put in a dominant shift at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they try to keep a clean sheet against MK Dons in midweek.
Joe Gomez will play in the right-back position as he looks to put in a solid shift down the right flank. Yasser Larouci will be in a race against time to be fit for this clash. He will hope to impress at left-back as Klopp is expected to hand Andrew Robertson some well-deserved rest ahead of the league clash at Sheffield United next weekend. If Larouci fails to recover in time for this game, then Adam Lewis will feature at left-back.
The Reds have managed to keep just one clean sheet across all competitions this season. Hence, Klopp would hope that his players can defend valiantly and keep a shutout away at the Stadium MK on Wednesday night.
Midfield
The Liverpool midfield might be comprised of Curtis Jones, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian as the talented trio look to establish their side’s dominance at the middle of the park. Both Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain will have a point to prove when they lace up to face off against the Buckinghamshire outfit in midweek.
Adam Lallana will be available on the Reds bench and might get a chance to influence the game if needed.
Attack
Xherdan Shaqiri and Harvey Elliot will look to stretch the pitch out on the flanks while Rhian Brewster plays down the middle as the centre-forward up top. Both Elliot and Brewster are highly rated at Merseyside, so this League Cup encounter could be a perfect opportunity for them to announce themselves to the world with a goal-scoring display in midweek.
