Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town prediction: Liverpool line-up

Liverpool host Huddersfield Town at Anfield on Friday evening aiming to make it 10 wins in a row across all competitions and maintain their charge towards Premier League glory.

Sunday’s 2-0 win at Cardiff City saw Jurgen Klopp’s side regain top spot in the table, although they have played a game more than Manchester City, who play neighbours Manchester United on Wednesday.

Nevertheless, the Reds will be firm favourites to overcome relegated Huddersfield on Friday before the Champions League semi-final first-leg against Barcelona.

Team News

Fabinho suffered a head injury minutes after coming in as a substitute at Cardiff City but Klopp has indicated the Brazilian will be available for selection on Friday.

Dejan Lovren has now missed Liverpool’s last two games with illness, but should be fine to return against Huddersfield. But Adam Lallana remains doubtful for the upcoming home game.

Probable Liverpool XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Jurgen Klopp

Alisson (GK)

The Brazilian is Liverpool’s first-choice keeper and should be in goal on Friday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB)

Alexander-Arnold didn’t have the best of games against Cardiff City but the upcoming game could be a great opportunity for him to show his class.

Joel Matip (CB)

He has been in fantastic form alongside Virgil van Dijk and deserves to keep his place in the team.

Virgil van Dijk (CB)

A leader and a fantastic organiser of the backline, Van Dijk is certain to start on Friday.
