Liverpool :
Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are probably going to miss this match against Cardiff City with the hamstring injury problems. On the other hand, Brewster and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain are two long term absentees for the Reds. Otherwise all are fit to play in this match against Cardiff City in the Premier League on Saturday. According to the sources, Jurgen Klopp is going to field an unchanged starting eleven in this match as they have no midweek game in the next week.
Liverpool have thrashed Red Star Belgrade in the Group Stage match on Wednesday in the Champions League with a margin of 4-0. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino- all of three of the Liverpool attackers have put their name in the scoresheet in the match against Red Star Belgrade. Mohamed Salah has scored two goals in that match and he is now very much confident about getting a goal against Cardiff City. The Egyptian star footballer has also scored the solo goal against Huddersfield Town in the previous Premier League match of Liverpool. On the other hand, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will also look to score in this match as Daniel Sturridge is waiting in the bench to come into the starting lineup of the Reds.
It will be a match to watch out for Xherdan Shaqiri as the Swiss midfielder will be keen to prove himself in the new role at the Anfield. Fabinho will also be keen to seal his position in the starting lineup of Liverpool with a great performance in this match. On the other hand, Dejan Lovren might have to sit in the bench for the Reds as Trent Alexander Arnold is going to start as the right back position for Liverpool and Gomez will be back at the centre back position. The pair of Joe Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk in the central defense is looking really solid for Liverpool in this season so far.
