Predicted Lineup: Liverpool v Manchester City | Community Shield | What Clues Did Klopp Give Us During RB Salzburg Defeat?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp appeared to give a big hint as to what his starting lineup will be for the Community Shield against Manchester City on Saturday in the midweek pre-season friendly defeat to RB Salzburg.

The 55-year-old made a raft of changes to the team that started against RB Leipzig last week and appeared to hold some of his elite players back for the final 30 minutes in Austria.

In goal, Klopp will have to decide whether to throw Alisson Becker straight back into action or stick with Adrian who has performed well so far in pre-season.

At the back, the decision appears to be between Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate to partner Virgil van Dijk with the retired Cameroon international looking likely to get the nod based on Wednesday’s action.

Skipper Jordan Henderson looked sharp in midfield alongside Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara though Naby Keita also staked a claim for a starting place.
