Gomez, Tsimikas And Gravenberch To Start | 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Villarreal Liverpool will welcome Villarreal at Anfield this Tuesday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win away at Brentford recently, which should give them a lot of confidence going into this game. Andoni Iraola will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his starting XI for this clash. Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas and Ryan Gravenberch could all play from the start of this game. 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Villarreal Defence Alisson Becker will feature in between the sticks for the Reds after conceding one goal in his last appearance. Jeremy Jacquet will operate alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool backline as they focus on keeping a good shape on the defensive end of the field. Joe Gomez will fill in as a right-back, while Kostas Tsimikas hopes to prove his value on the other flank as the left-back.

The gifted trio of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo will operate just ahead of them as part of Iraola’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Reds are to secure a convincing win in midweek. Trey Nyoni, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed. Attack Alexander Isak will spearhead Liverpool’s attack up top. He has to figure out a way to be a constant menace on the offensive end of the field. Lewis Koumas will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the latter stages if the Reds are in need of a goal by then.
