Enter captio — The high-octane clash between Liverpool and AS Roma promises to be a spectacle

#5 The dream attacking lineup of Liverpool

When Phillippe Coutinho left Liverpool to join Barcelona in January, no one expected Liverpool to recover so soon and refill the void left by Coutinho. Since then, they have become stronger with each passing game.

The attack is led by the Brazilian Roberto Firmino, who has scored 24 goals this season and assisted 11 times. He is flanked by the unstoppable Mohammed Salah on the right and Sadio Mane on the left, who often terrorize the opposition with his pace.

Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke are two dependable substitutes who can chip in goals whenever required.

In the midfield, captain Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum boss the proceedings and control the tempo of the game. The midfield-engine James Milner, takes the left midfielder slot, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain takes the right midfielder slot, sometimes switching over to the right winger position if the need arises.

The Liverpool attack is a dream attacking lineup for any manager. Could they defeat the high-flying Roma team or will they be the victims? Only time will tell.
