Arne Slot has choice selections to make as Liverpool journey to face Galatasaray on Tuesday, with arguments for and towards who will get the nod within the beginning lineup.
Slot was in a position to relaxation 9 common starters towards Southampton in midweek, however that relaxation didn’t return three factors at Crystal Palace on Sunday in a less-than-impressive efficiency.
Liverpool bought their first three factors within the Champions League towards Atletico Madrid with a robust XI, however there may be an argument for Slot to tweak his facet as soon as extra for the journey to Istanbul.
With a visit to Chelsea to return on Saturday, we now have named three gamers Slot ought to begin within the Champions League and three he ought to pass over.
START – Federico Chiesa

Two objectives and two assists throughout his six appearances must have earned Chiesa the proper to a spot within the beginning XI, even when he was initially ignored of the Champions League squad.
He’s forcing the difficulty when others within the staff are struggling to get going, and that spark and persistence is what Liverpool have to get a consequence.
Chiesa is in higher bodily form than final season and could be trusted to play his position, to not point out he’s one among few who’ve momentum on his facet.
The Italian can carry others into the sport together with his motion, and feeding his confidence this early on will solely maintain the Reds in good stead shifting ahead.
OUT – Milos Kerkez


The Hungarian merely wants time to settle at Liverpool and popping out of the facet earlier than the October worldwide break could also be one of the best determination for him.
He has all of the instruments and qualities to succeed and deserves the persistence to endure that course of. It didn’t work out too badly for Andy Robertson!
This match will likely be performed with a raucous environment, and expertise could also be precisely what Liverpool want to return away with factors whereas nonetheless very a lot discovering their ft as a new-look facet.
To not point out, Kerkez has featured in each sport up to now for the membership, taking part in the ninth-most minutes along with his efforts for Hungary.
START – Andy Robertson


As abovementioned, Kerkez has not had the smoothest of introductions to life at Anfield as he settles into a brand new means of taking part in below Slot, and now he could be taken out of the hearth.
Robertson is a no brainer to return in at left-back, and the Scot will likely be considerably contemporary after simply two begins at membership stage up to now this season.
Whereas not the participant he as soon as was, his expertise and reference to these in midfield and Cody Gakpo ought to assist Liverpool discover some type and consistency.
It is smart to carry Robertson in. The query is, can he begin two video games in 5 days?
OUT – Ibrahima Konate


This one virtually speaks for itself.
It has been an inconsistent and erratic begin to the marketing campaign for Ibrahima Konate, who was significantly unfastened in possession at Palace and invited strain on Alisson.
Maybe errors are extra apparent subsequent to the colossal Virgil van Dijk, however he wants a participant competing towards him to carry out his finest, so why not activity Joe Gomez with simply that?
START – Joe Gomez


The harm to Leoni has solely elevated the significance of Gomez, with solely three match specialist senior centre-backs within the squad now.
Gomez seems to be assured when subsequent to Van Dijk, and though he may have time to settle having solely performed 119 minutes this season, he’s greater than able to establishing himself as an everyday starter.
He shouldn’t be restricted to cup matches solely, it is a top-class defender who has confirmed time and time once more what he’s able to when match.
OUT – Mohamed Salah


It appears virtually incomprehensible that Salah can be named as an ‘out’, however he’s struggling to get entangled and be a continuing menace.
A task as an influence sub could also be simply what he must rediscover some type towards, what you hope will likely be, drained legs late within the match.
Liverpool have the choices with each ahead participant match and out there to make this variation, and it may turn out to be useful towards Chelsea on the weekend if the Egyptian is contemporary.
He has performed 630 minutes already and whereas he can at all times conjure a bit of magic out of nowhere, there isn’t a motive why that can’t occur from the bench.
