"Here is how Liverpool could lineup as they try to win their second straight Champions League match of the season. Goalkeeper: Giorgi Mamardashvili Defenders: Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson Midfielders: Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo POSSIBLE SUBS: Federico Chiesa, Florian Wirtz, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez, Milos Kerkez"
"Mamardashvili starting in goal is clear, and while he has not been elite during his time replacing Alisson, he certainly has been more than serviceable when called upon. He'll be needed on Tuesday. Defensively, Bradley and Robertson played so well over the weekend it would be hard to not include them in this starting lineup. Van Dijk and Konate will need to come ready to play from the first minute if they are going to handle this Real Madrid attack."
Liverpool returned to winning form with a 2-0 Premier League victory over Aston Villa and now face Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League. Trent Alexander-Arnold returns after his acrimonious exit over the summer, while injuries rule out Alexander Isaak, Jeremie Frimpong and Alisson Becker. Arne Slot may tinker but is likely to rely on a settled lineup featuring Giorgi Mamardashvili in goal, a back four including Conor Bradley and Andy Robertson, a midfield trio of Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, and an attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo. Florian Wirtz and other attacking options remain on the bench.
