Liverpool will face Atalanta on Wednesday night in their fourth match of the Champions League group stage and we are trying to predict their starting eleven for that match.
It’s fair to say that Jurgen Klopp has a tough task when it comes to picking his team for the Champions League after the club’s recent injury crisis and Klopp’s complaints about match congestion.
As expected, we expect wholesale changes for this match.
Our planned XI sees Liverpool make six massive changes to this game.
Alisson remains in goal, but the four behind have had a major shakeup.
We don’t expect Andy Robertson to take a chance after he had a fitness scare with Scotland, so Kostas Tsimikas starts as left-back, while we believe James Milner will move to midfield, so Neco Williams starts on the right. .

Joel Matip retains one of the central defender spots, while Fabinho retires after his recent fitness issues, so Nat Phillips enters.
The midfield features three players who played Leicester on Sunday, with Milner, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita starting in the middle.
Keita was forced to leave against Leicester due to injury, but that problem was thought to be minor.
The three forwards are also a new-looking trio with Mohamed Salah returning after recording a negative coronavirus test, while Divovk Origi and Takumi Minamino start alongside him.
This is anything but a must-win game for Liverpool, with the Reds scoring nine points in three Champions League games so far, their qualification is almost assured.
With Liverpool in such a comfortable position, we expect them to rotate to protect some of their star players after Klopp made it clear he was unhappy with the congestion in the match.
