Predicted Liverpool XI: Atletico Madrid (A)

Liverpool return to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium to face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie this evening.

The last time the Reds played at the new of home of Atleti, they went onto beat Tottenham and lift their sixth European crown back in June.

However, the priorities are different now as they prepare to take on Diego Simeone’s side.

A tough first leg awaits against an Atleti team, who are currently not in the greatest of form but have the ability to turn up in big European games.

Even though the second leg of this tie is at Anfield, meaning Liverpool are already in a strong position to go through irrespective of what happens in Madrid, they wouldn’t want a negative result in the first leg.

In terms of team news, Jurgen Klopp has a near-enough full squad to pick his XI from for this game. Only Xherdan Shaqiri and Nathaniel Clyne are unavailable for selection.

That all being said, here’s how we think the manager may line his XI up:
