At 00:45 a.m. Beijing time on December 15, the final round of Group E of the Europa League group stage will stage a high-profile battle, with the Reds Liverpool visiting the Belgian team Saint-Gilloise United.
After the first 5 rounds of the group stage, the Red Army Liverpool won 4 wins and 1 loss, accumulated 12 points, and won the right to qualify in advance with an absolute advantage of 4 points. Therefore, this game against Saint-Gilloise Union is nothing more than an inconsequential game for Liverpool, and whether it wins or loses, it will not affect Liverpool's prospects of qualifying.
In the case that the overall situation of the Europa League promotion has been decided, in this round against the little-known Saint-Gilloise United, Uncle Scum is expected to make a relatively large adjustment to the starting lineup in order to give the main players a reasonable rest, and may even play with the Liverpool second team. The following is a brief prediction of the starting lineup that Uncle Scum may put out in this game.
In the goalkeeper position, because the main goalkeeper Alisson has just recovered from injury, Uncle Scum will still let him guard the Liverpool goal in order to train him with the game and find the feeling of the game as soon as possible; Ibrahima Konate will play in a two-man centre-back pairing, while Tsimikas and rising star Quaanza will play at wing-back. Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold will be rested at the same time.
In midfield, it is no surprise that England midfielder Curtis Jones will be the main defender responsible for interceptions and tackles in Liverpool's midfield, while the Dutch prodigy Hrafenberg will be partnered with Curtis Jones in a two-man midfield combination. Argentine midfielder Allister and Japanese international Endo are likely to be rotated at the same time. In front of the double midfield, the commander who is in charge of the command and dispatch in the front field should be England rising star Elliott. Szoboslo, the attacking core of the frontcourt, will also be rotated and will be on standby.
Up front, it is expected that it will be Dutch star Gakpo who is expected to charge for Liverpool up front. Partnering Gakpo in the forward trident should be Scottish 18-year-old Ben Doc and Luis Dias. Ace striker Mohamed Salah and Uruguayan striker Nunez will be rotated at the same time and will be on the bench. Among them, the performance of Scottish rising star Ben Dock is worth looking forward to.
To sum up, it is expected that Liverpool will rotate seven main players in one go against Saint-Gilloise Union in this game, and the final starting lineup should be: Alisson, Tsimikas, Joe Gomez, Konat, Quaanza, Curtis Jones, Hrafenberg, Elliott, Gakpo, Iss Dias, Ben Doke
