In the last 5 games, Liverpool have established themselves as the Premier League leaders, while also using a chance to rotate the squad a bit against Midtjylland.
Let's recall what happened in the previous games to find out the Reds' best XI right now.
Liverpool 4-0 Wolves
A comprehensive win over a tricky opponent with rare goals from Wijnaldum and Matip. Caoimhin Kelleher celebrated his Premier League debut with a clean sheet. Salah scored.
Midtjylland 1-1 Liverpool
Liverpool had secured the first place in the Champions League group, so that game featured a rotated line-up including Leighton Clarkson, Kostas Tsimikas and Divock Origi. Diogo Jota suffered a serious injury. Salah scored.
Fulham 1-1 Liverpool
The least impressive performance of the bunch, with relegation candidates Fulham seriously competing for 3 points. Alisson returned to the goal, but Joel Matip picked up an injury. Salah scored.
Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham
The Reds went top of the table with this win. Bobby Firmino got the long-awaited goal at Anfield and celebrated it with supporters. Rhys Williams was comfortable in Matip's place. Oh yeah, Salah also scored.
Crystal Palace 0-7 Liverpool
An unexpected goalfest from the Reds, with Takumi Minamino getting his first Premier League goal. Sadio Mane ended his 9-game goal drought and even Henderson got on the scoresheet. Matip returned to the line-up and provided the second assist of his Liverpool career. Salah got on from the bench in the second half and scored twice.
The verdict:
- Alisson played the last 3 games and is anyway a default choice when fit, regardless of how inpressive Kelleher's performances were.
- Joel Matip and Rhys Williams battle it out for a place alongside Fabinho - we give the nod to the more experienced centre-back.
- The midfield and the front three pick themselves. Hopefully, Salah keeps scoring.
