The Liverpool captain is expected to play in Champions League this week. He had a quiet game against the London team over the weekend.

Central Defensive Midfielder: Emre Can

Manchester United v Liverpool - Premier League
Can last played against Manchester United

Can has played as a central midfielder and defensive midfielder in his seven Champions League matches. Thus far, the German has missed only one match due to a yellow card suspension. Although he did not play against Crystal Palace over the weekend, Klopp expects the midfielder to be fit to start against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Central Attacking Midfielder: Georgino Wijnaldum

Wijnaldum started ahead of Oxlade-Chamberlain

Wijnaldum hardly had an influence in the battle against Crystal Palace, leaving many Liverpool fans angered. However, throughout the season, Wijnaldum has constantly provided eagerness to get forward and deserves the chance to play in Champions League. Klopp will probably be starting him once again against Manchester City, unless he fails to impress during training.
