Ederson

The Brazilian has been in good form in recent games, and shots faced stats show how confident the whole team are with him between the posts.

Walker

With the pace of Liverpool’s attack, we are likely to see Walker keep his spot.

Stones

Unbelievable that he has come home from the England camp fully fit, and will likely see him feature in such a huge game.

Dias

Quite evidently a leader at the back; it is no surprise to see our form improve with the return of Dias and Stones.

Ake

By far the best option at left back, and doing a fine job both there and centre. Putting an incredible 10/10 performance for his national side last week, he is on fire. If Haaland was not such a robot, Ake would have to be Player of the Season.
