Predicted Liverpool XI: Dortmund (H)

Liverpool entertain Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night in what has to be considered the biggest game of the Reds’ campaign.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have a precious away goal in the bag, and the longer they can go without conceding one at Anfield the better.

With strikers beginning to hit form and a defence starting to settle, Liverpool look in good shape and have at least a 50/50 chance of progressing to a first European semi-final this decade.

Sunday’s win over Stoke City can only serve as a big confidence-booster, and L4 will be rocking for the visit of Klopp’s former side.

It’s a tricky team to pick as, for once, Liverpool have almost a fully fit squad to choose from, and some individuals will feel aggrieved to be left out.

Will he go with two up front to accommodate both Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi? Will Joe Allen get a start?

Here is the XI that I think Klopp will select:
