Liverpool continue to struggle against teams in the bottom half of the table. On Saturday, they face Stoke City, who are currently 12th in the Premier League. Therefore, it will not be shocking if the Reds end up dropping points.
Klopp may have to make two key changes in the starting team that played vs the Cherries last night.
Ragnar Klavan was arguably the worst defender on the field for the Merseysiders vs Bournemouth. The Estonian international will most probably be on the bench vs the Potters and in his place, Joel Matip must return to start in the central defense with Dejan Lovren.
Coutinho felt sick last night and was substituted in the 65th minute of the game. If he is not fully fit in time then we can expect the Brazilian attacker to be on the bench vs Stoke.
In such a scenario, Daniel Sturridge may return to the starting XI and the England international should start as the center forward.

I have to confess that I am confused and at a loss to the formation selected for today’s game. After the very late giveaway with Bournemouth just the other night with a back three, I cannot really understand why Klopp has again selected a back three. Add to that, he has selected Clyne, a natural right-back, to play at left-back and the youngster, Arnold, to play at right-back. Milner has moved up to his favored position as part of a 5 man midfield. The youngster Woodburn upfront with Origi. Although so far it is looking more like Woodburn is playing behind Origi. To add to the strange lineup, , I believe due to having only 3 at the back, Stoke have scored with a Stoke player wide open only 5 yards out. Klopp, you have got the formation wrong again for the second time in two games and it needs to be changed at half-time.
