International break is over and now Premier League title race will not have any breaks until the end of the season. Liverpool have 76 points after 31 matches, Manchester City are with 74 points from 30 matches. 7 and 8 games respectively. Will Merseyside club finally bring back the trophy after 29 years? Liverpool will have Champions League quarterfinal matches against Porto, an opponent, which was the best one from the all possible teams for this part of the season. What players will be chosen by Jurgen Klopp? Will he make tactical changes? 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3? We have our say for this question. How Liverpool could lineup for the next 7 matches of the season? Vbetnews preferred lineup: Alisson - Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson - Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum - Salah, Mane, Firmino Despite the recovery of Joe Gomez, England international will still have to return the form he had during the first months of the season. Matip and Lovren have been used for rotation, while Gomez had formed a great partnership with Van Dijk. However, in this part of the season, Matip is a better choice for Klopp considering the playing time and current form of Cameroon international. Matip has been impressive against Bayern Munich, despite the own goal, which was not his fault at all. In order to be solid and not to take risks, Klopp would rather use him, while Gomez could be brought back to starting lineup over some time. The other positions are clear as Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Robertson will surely have their place in lineup. The next question comes with the midfield. Should Klopp use different formations? 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3? In the first part of the season it was clear, that against non top - 6 sides the formation with Shaqiri or Lallana in lineup helped Reds a lot. However, now Shaqiri is not in good form, which means it would be better to stay with 4-3-3. Fabinho, who had bad start of the season, is now surely one of the best players in the team. As Matip, Brazil international had a good match in Munich. His understanding of Klopp ideas is improving with every game. With Fabinho, Klopp could use Henderson, who is good at pressing opponents and Wijnaldum, who is having his best season of career. Milner also could be a choice, but James is also a kind of joker. The latest visit to Craven Cottage was a demonstration, that with his character England international is able to influence tough matches. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also recovering, but after several months without a playing time he will possibly be used only in rare occasions. With the offense, it is as clear as with the defense at goalkeeper. Mane, Salah and Firmino should show their best level. While Senegal and Brazil internationals are in a good form, 2017/18 best striker Salah still struggles to score a goal in his latest matches. Mane has taken the goalscoring form, but it is Salah that also should decide when needed.
