Liverpool is set to host Leicester City at Anfield this Wednesday night in the third round of the EFL Cup. After a comfortable 3-1 victory over West Ham United, the Reds are riding high going into this home fixture.

Jurgen Klopp is expected to stick with his favored 4-3-3 formation and may make several changes to the starting lineup for this midweek clash. The anticipated starting XI includes Ben Doak, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo.

Predicted 4-3-3 Liverpool Lineup Against Leicester City:

Goalkeeper:

Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to start in goal after conceding one goal in his last appearance against LASK.

Defenders:

Jarell Quansah could partner with Ibrahima Konate in the center of Liverpool’s defense, aiming to maintain defensive solidity. Stefan Bajcetic is likely to fill in as a makeshift right-back, while Kostas Tsimikas operates as the left-back, both looking to contribute to the attack when possible. Joe Gomez provides defensive cover from the bench.

Midfield:

Klopp’s midfield trio is expected to consist of Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, and Harvey Elliott, focusing on controlling the game’s tempo and creating opportunities. Alexis Mac Allister will be available on the bench as an impact option in the second half if needed.

Attack:

Diogo Jota is set to feature on the left wing, riding high on his recent goal-scoring form.

Ben Doak, known for his pace, is anticipated to occupy the right flank.

Cody Gakpo is likely to lead the line, tasked with challenging the Leicester defense.

Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are expected to be among the substitutes, ready to make an impact if needed in the later stages of the match to bolster the attack.
