Rest Robertson and Mane for this I think. We need them for Man City.
Alisson / TAA / VVD / Lovren / Milner / Fabinho / Oxlade Chamberlain / Wijnaldum / Salah / Firmino / Origi.

Gomez and Milner I reckon should start to replace Robbo and Trent. Genk will cause some problems but we are strong/experienced enough.

(The Guardian) Preamble--Hopefully no Genk supporters have rocked up in Illinois or New South Wales expecting to watch their team turn over Jürgen Klopp’s side at Anfield. Two Liverpool supporters missed their 4-1 victory in Belgium last month after travelling to Gent, 80 miles away from Genk, by mistake. Surely not. Anyway, this is the easy bit for Klopp. Hours after Liverpool confirmed they will play twice in two days next month – presumably Klopp will not be in both Birmingham and then Qatar for the Carabao Cup and Fifa Club World Cup respectively – it is back to the day job and a competition they truly cherish. Their Premier League showdown against Manchester City is not until Sunday but first they have the chance to brush aside Genk. Fabinho could return after skipping Saturday’s 2-1 win at Aston Villa, while Klopp could start James Milner and hand Jordan Henderson a breather. Napoli top Group E and will qualify for the last 16 if they beat Red Bull Salzburg and Genk fail to win at Anfield. There seems a good chance of that, with Liverpool in no mood to surrender with City on the horizon and Genk having conceded five goals in each of their past three Champions League away games. Klopp could not help but indulge in Sadio Mané talk and tactical-foul chat in the buildup to this one, though his players know the drill. “The story the boys wrote in the past three years was only possible because we were always focused on the next game,” Klopp said. “We have bigger ambitions in this competition than Tuesday night so we have to be 100% spot on. I don’t doubt my players at all. I would feel a bit embarrassed if I had to tell them ‘don’t think about Man City already.’” Think about Gent Genk.

(The Guardian) Team news: Jürgen Klopp makes six changes, with James Milner filling in at left-back in the absence of Andy Robertson, who is given a breather ahead of the big one on Sunday. The Scot is on the bench, alongside Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino, though Klopp will hope he does not have to call on any of the trio. Divock Origi gets the nod up front and Fabinho in midfield, while Oxlade-Chamberlain will play out wide and Joe Gomez replaces Dejan Lovren.

(The Guardian) Obviously we are only thinking about Genk – but Pep Guardiola did stoke a fire with those comments about Mané and diving. Jürgen Klopp’s riposte? To touch on Manchester City’s tactical fouls and defend his man, of course. “I don’t understand these types of things,” Klopp says. “My brain is not big enough to think about another team as well. I have enough to do to think about us.”

(The Guardian) Alisson speaks, and says others raise seem to raise their game against Liverpool. “Everyone looks at us as the champions so when we go to the pitch, everyone wants to beat us,” he says. “I always have a big expectation on me all my life, so all of my life I have dealt with that. I just need to show my best on the pitch for my supporters and the team to achieve big things. I think I did really good last season and I want to do that again and, if possible, even better. We gave everything on the pitch last season and will try to do that again. Why not?”

(The Guardian) Regarding that Genk/Gent mix-up, and the possibility of a handful of Belgians following suit in search of Anfield, a tweet. “You’ve overlooked Liverpool Nova Scotia, which is also on the Mersey River,” says Steven Kempton. “A few have shown up in Sydney (Cape Breton) looking for the Opera House only to find a large fiddle.” And an email courtesy of Shane O’Leary: “I find it easy to respect and admire Pep, but impossible to connect in the same gut reaction way that I do with Der Kloppster. Pep gives the impression that he approaches making toast in the same way while Der Kloppster seems to be a more visceral, jumpers for goalposts and toast with a flamethrower kind of guy. Am I right?”

(The Guardian) Klopp speaks, and says he is confident his captain, Jordan Henderson, will be fit for Sunday’s showdown with Manchester City despite not training because of illness on Monday. “He wanted to make himself available but we said ‘go home again, you are whiter than a sheet’ so from tomorrow I think he will be fine,” Klopp says. “We have to be really careful, because we don’t all of them [to be ill].” Of those six changes, he adds: “It is to bring in fresh legs, fresh ideas, new skills and different ways to play. We never know what the other team is going to do to us. We didn’t meet in the car park before the game, we trained a couple of times together and, yeah, let’s play a football game. I said today in a meeting it looks like for two-and-half years every game is the most important in our life and this is again like this, a very important game and we want to show that on the pitch.”

(The Guardian) “I can see Liverpool lining up 4-2-3-1,” emails Joe Shelton. “Fabinho and Gini the two, Ox, Keïta and Salah behind Origi?” Quite possibly – there’s only one way to find out. And Klopp reckons Genk could make life difficult by shoving five defenders, and possibly a few more, behind the ball. “It looks a little bit like they could play five at the back,” he says. “It would be the first time in ages but it is still possible. There is always some space in between the lines, we have to find that and make the pitch wide. We have to be strong, quick and direct.”

(The Guardian) 1 min: Divock Origi, who joined Genk aged six, surges down the left. Then Wijnaldum goes on the rampage. Liverpool begin with plenty of intent.
