Liverpool have a distinct lack of proven firepower as Darwin Núñez gets the start vs. Fulham. Andy Robertson is also named to the teamsheet after an extended stint on the injury list. The fact that Mohamed Salah and others are missing means that young players such as Connor Bradley will have to step up.
Leno, Castagne, Tosin, Diop, Robinson, Palhinha, Cairney, De Cordova-Reid, Pereria, Willian, Jimenez.
Rodak, Tete, Ream, Reed, Lukic, Francios, Wilson, Muniz, Vinicius.
Kelleher, Gomez, Van Dijk, Diaz, Nunez, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Elliott, Gravenberch, Quansah, Bradley
Alisson, Konate, Jones, Jota, Robertson, Clark, McConnell, Beck, Nyoni
This will be a tough test for Liverpool as they are forced to start talented but unproven players up front. Liverpool only need a draw to advance to the finals, so I expect the Reds to employ a more defensive strategy. Of note, Liverpool lead 2-1 on aggregate so if the match ends even on aggregate, there will be extra time and penalties. There is also no VAR today.
