Liverpool FC v 1899 Hoffenheim - UEFA Champions League Qualifying Play-Offs Round: Second Leg
Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah

The front three positions are reserved for well-known names: Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Last season they were the most deadly partnership in Europe. Together they scored 91 goals in all competitions for Liverpool.

Firmino normally plays as a false nine. No player in this squad is better equipped to Jurgen Klopp's system than Brazillian forward. Firmino is incredibly good at making smart runs and good movements. Firmino often roams where he wants.

Mane will play on the left wing. He regularly cuts inside because he is right footed. Salah will play on the right wing and his role is more like a poacher. Instead of dropping deep, he plays more directly and he is the most likely player to find himself in a 1vs1 situation out of the three. Because of that, he scores more goals than Firmino and Mane.
