A line-up change on Saturday night against Sheffield United will make a lot of sense for Liverpool.
The Reds beat the Blades at home and away last season, with Liverpool playing their usual 4-3-3 system that saw James milner , Jordan henderson Y Gini Wijnaldum forming the midfield in the game at Anfield and Fabinho replacing Milner in the reverse game at Bramall Lane.
This time, however, the circumstances are perfect for Jurgen Klopp’s side to move to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the coach and his players still to use that system, despite having tried it in the preseason.
