Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool face a newly promoted side this weekend in the Premier League. The last time they met a team that was recently promoted, Liverpool fell to a demoralizing 2-0 defeat. However, they will want to avenge that defeat and hope that they can provide a satisfying evening to the crowd present at the new Anfield. It is a game that has not been easy for Liverpool over the years and Klopp will be wary of the threats teams like Hull have away from home. Here is Liverpool’s expected lineup to face the Tigers at the weekend.
Team News:
Jurgen Klopp welcomed the likes of Emre Can and Loris Karius back to the first team in the midweek fixture but neither of them are expected to start for the Reds against Hull. The likes of Sakho and Gomez are back in training but may not be available for this game. Here is the strongest lineup that Klopp can field on Saturday:
Simon Mignolet:
Having started the new season in an impressive manner, the Belgian will not be dislodged from his starting place in the side so early in the season.
Defense:
Nathaniel Clyne:
The right back started the season poorly but has slowly grown into the side and was impressive in recent games. He will start for Liverpool against Hull this weekend.
Joel Matip:
Impressing everyone more by the game, Matip will once against start this game at the heart of the Liverpool defense and will hope to keep a clean sheet on the night.
Dejan Lovren:
Growing on to become a star player for Liverpool recently, Lovren has been superb in the last game and will keep his place in the side for this weekend.
James Milner:
After sitting out in the League Cup game, Milner will back in his makeshift left-back position for this game at Anfield.
Midfield:
Jordan Henderson:
The Liverpool captain has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season and will control the midfield for his side on Saturday.
Adam Lallana:
Arguably one of the best players for Liverpool this season, Lallana, has been superb in the last few games and will start in a deeper role in the midfield on Saturday.
Sadio Mane:
The Senegalese winger has assumed an important spot in the Liverpool starting XI and will have to be at his best if Liverpool wants to beat Hull this weekend.

Roberto Firmino:
The Brazilian was on fire in the League Cup game recently and will be up for the challenge against Hull this weekend.
Phillipe Coutinho:
Back among the goals in the League cup, Coutinho will once again be the danger man for Liverpool when they face Hull this weekend.
Attack:
Daniel Sturridge:
Though picked up a niggle in the game over Chelsea, Sturridge is back fit for this game and should start for Liverpool in the attack.
