Pat: I couldn’t understand the starting line-up - it is easy to see that the Liverpool's full-backs are their weak link and they can struggle against pace. So, start Doku and Savinho. KDB is our most creative player and capable of defence splitting passes - Haaland is the best in the world at accelerating between central defenders. So, start KDB.
