Remember Chelsea’s shambolic run of form before their amazing run started earlier this season? After back to back losses against Liverpool and Arsenal, Conte switched to 3-4-3 to help his side bounce back and they did it in some style!

Liverpool have always been poor defensively but now they are lacking that attacking threat which was their strength earlier in the season. Klopp can certainly take Chelsea’s example and switch to 3-4-3 and play in a counter-attacking manner.

In this system, the preferred back three would be Can, Matip and Lovren. The two wing-backs should be Clyne and Milner and the two central midfielders should be Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Daniel Sturridge or Divock Origi has to spearhead the attack in this system to provide a genuine goal scoring option. Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane should play on the flanks. In this system, both Firmino and Lallana would have to be dropped to the bench, though.
