Paul Merson, an Arsenal veteran, has advised Jurgen Klopp to start midfielder Wataru Endo against Manchester City this Saturday in a Premier League match for Liverpool.
The Premier League’s top two teams, Manchester City and Liverpool, will meet at the Etihad Stadium.
If Klopp’s team were to win, they would likely take over first place in the table. However, this is no easy feat, as Pep Guardiola’s City have never lost to Liverpool at home in the Premier League.
“Liverpool have a few selection headaches. Merson predicted that Joe Gomez will start in place of Kostas Tsimikas at left back for Sportskeeda.
Tucking in and playing defense is more his style. You need to be able to hold your own defensively in City.
Wataru Endo in the middle, with Alexis Mac Allister pushed to the “number 8” position. That’s the kind of play you want to make against Man City, keeping possession of the ball, and he does it well.
If you want to beat City, you need to make the most of every pass, including the ones that sneak through the defense. Players with good passing awareness are essential.
To get the most out of Mac Allister, I need someone as patient as Endo, and he is that person.
