Scott Mctomminay was brilliant against Arsenal in central midfield and is a sure pick. Meanwhile, World Cup-winning midfielder Paul Pogba is back in training and will be fit enough to start against Jurgen Klopp’s side.

For a team that has scored twice in their last five matches, the attack has been their weakest point. It is why the return of French forward Anthony Martial highly boosts Ole Gunnars attacking options and also whey he should be started in his favored striker’s position.

Daniel James has three goals so far and should start on the left wing with Andreas Pereira on the right.

Starting XI: Romero, Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Lindelof, Mctomminay, Pogba, Fred, James, Perreira, Martial.
