Reds duo set to return to action against Watford

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Naby Keita are expected to start against Watford in Wednesday evening’s Premier League clash, according to the Liverpool Echo. 

The pair had featured against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but were left out of the starting XI for the trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United. 

James Milner slotted in at right-back for Alexander-Arnold, whilst Fabinho stepped up into midfield, taking Keita’s spot. 

Jurgen Klopp will also have to contend with the absence of Roberto Firmino, who limped off against United with an ankle injury.

The German tactician will have to decide if he wants to give Daniel Sturridge or Divock Origi a go at the top of the formation, or hand a start to Xherdan Shaqiri and roll out a 4-2-3-1 formation with Mohamed Salah the sole striker. 

Or maybe he’ll pull a complete wildcard, in any kind of effort to get the Reds scoring again.
