Hendo in midfield – Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-3-3 XI vs Leicester

We lured Kabak and Davies on deadline day but they have not started as yet. It is time for the skipper to return to the midfield and the new signings should start vs the Foxes.

Alisson had a game to forget vs Man City but he is one of the best goalies in the world and must start today. The likes of Alexander-Arnold and Robertson should retain their fullback positions.

The trio would likely get the nod to start in the attack. Jota is still sidelined with injury. Here is Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-3-3 XI vs Leicester:
