Predicted Liverpool XI at Brighton: Klopp to go back to basics, Henderson to return

Liverpool faces a tricky, if not too daunting, trip to Brighton on Wednesday evening as they look to build on their 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Reds were well beaten last week by Manchester City but returned to winning ways with a comfortable stroll past the Villains.

However, Jurgen Klopp made a number of changes in that game and some did not pay off. Indeed, the decision to include the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi, and Keita from the start will be something Klopp has a good think about.

Indeed, it wasn’t until the Reds boss made some changes in the second half, including the introduction of Jordan Henderson, that Liverpool began to properly motor.

With that, we think Klopp will ring the changes again. But this time, we think a return to action for Henderson, Wijnaldum, and £29m man Roberto Firmino will be as far as it goes. Naby Keita should also keep his place.

Here, then, is our predicted XI as Liverpool travel to the AMEX to face Brighton.
