Young Victor Kristiansen should be on the right defensive flank, though Luke Thomas is a po sibility too, with Timothy Castagne on the right. Wilfried Ndidi should come into the side in the place of Boubacar Soumare and pair up with Youri Tielemans in the heart of defence. Veteran striker Jamie Vardy should start upfront ahead of Patson Daka, with the trio of Barnes, Maddison and Dennis Praet.LiverpoolLiverpool have had a disappointing season too, of course, though theyve recently hit an excellent level of form, winning all of their last six matches. They beat Leeds United 1-6 away, Nottingham Forest 3-2 at home, West Ham 1-2 away, Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 at home, Fulham 1-0 at home, and eventually Brentford by the same scoreline, also at home.It was Mohamed Salah who proved the difference maker for his team again against the very resilient Bees, forcing the ball acro s the goal line in the 13th minute.Until this magnificent run began, it seemed that last seasons Champions League and Premier League runners-up and winners of both domestic cups could easily mi s out on European football altogether, but now its practically certain that they will be playing in one of the three UEFA competitions.Still, as things stand at the moment, Andrej Sekera Jersey it seems likely itll be the Europa League. A top-four finish remains out of their hands for now, with Manchester United in fourth and Newcastle in third still ahead by four points each.
