Liverpool have up to 11 more games this season, with the FA Cup Final Four beating Manchester City to reach the final and returning to midweek to host another Manchester City side, Manchester United, in a faded double red. In the past two games, Liverpool have rotated 7 players, although there will be no big rotation but at least 4 position changes in this battle, it is rare that this season's Liverpool 23-man army is all injured and can be transferred by Klopp, he will be good at using 11 main players and 3 substitutes to fight. First take stock of the five major points of this battle!
1. Diogo Jota + Roberto Firmino are strong in pressing
In the first leg, Liverpool used Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino with Salah as the three arrows, and the two pressing forwards broke Manchester United 5-0 in the result of the battle, which also became one of the fuse for Solskjaer's fire, and Maguire's defensive line was full of foreign appearances. The duo of Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino have sparked a spark, and this season's all competitions have made a total of 10 starts in 8 wins and 2 draws, so that Liverpool can still win the league without Salah and Mane when the Africa Cup is carried out, and the FA Cup and League Cup can still successfully qualify. Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are close in position and style of play but are good at winning, and the positions can be swapped so that the opposing defense will miss one of them if they are not careful, just like the effect of Díaz with Mane. The duo's FA Cup break is enough to rotate the starting lineup for this tournament.
2. Salah's goal drought is still unbroken
Salah had many shooting opportunities in the second half of the FA Cup, but unfortunately the shooting decision effect was very poor and did not take advantage of the opportunity to break the goal drought, sometimes the foot wind is not smooth, compared with the first leg against Manchester United when the state of the brave is simply a world of difference, the battle Salah easily scored two goals, hoping that this battle with the weak defense of Manchester United to help Salah break the goal drought, after all, Norwich can also score 2 goals away from home, Manchester United left-back Tres position sense and defense are very general, Salah had to take advantage of the great opportunity to regain his shooting spot.
3. Marty popularizes Jordan Henderson returns to the starters
Konat played three excellent games, three goals in three games is indeed the time to come, but the three games are 3-1, 3-3 and 3-2, it seems that conceding goals is inevitable, the cup game does not need to calculate the goal difference as long as the goal difference is won to advance to the merit, but the league is different, temporarily Liverpool is only 1 point behind Manchester City, and finally with Manchester City or need to calculate the difference in goal difference, the league use back to the defensive matipu is reasonable. How can the same double red club lack captain Jordan Henderson, this battle should replace Nabi Keita to start, with him against Manchester United is a must, the double red club momentum may be more important than strength.
4. Curtis Jones should start the first armor this battle
Another focus of the first leg is of course C Ronaldo angrily kicking Curtis Jones, this battle is the turn of Liverpool liverpool fans should have a good greeting to C Ronaldo, Klopp should also use Curtis Jones to start, let him face Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo with the support of more than 50,000 home fans to win back the respect he deserves. With the exception of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago and Nabi Keita, Curtis Jones should be fifth overall pick in midfield, with the double red club having a few more Liverpool academy players looking better.
5. Arnold vs Andrew Robertson
Former Champions League visitor Benfica Andrew Robertson handed over assists to let Conat start the record, and last week's league game away to Manchester City turned Toogo Jota to score 1-1, just after the FA Cup returned to Andrew Robertson to open a corner and find Cornat to score. This season, the duo have a total of 32 assists in all competitions, Arnold accounted for 17 and Andrew Robertson also had 15, I believe that the two will still send a lot of assists in the remaining ten or so games, if they can also hand over more than 20 assists will be a good statistic.
