So I’m predicting three changes from midweek against PSG. Robertson, Mac Allister and Jota to take a break. 

Slot made a lot of insightful comments about how he works his team selections and what he seems to consider… read my post from earlier today but ultimately, when there is a two day break between games, he’s likely making a change or two, otherwise; he’s probably going full strength if he can!  

Some minutes and this is based on IF I am right on the lineup… 

Alexander-Arnold: Between 60-75 minutes. Quansah the likely candidate to come on in his place. 

Salah: 80 minutes but there are some caveats. If the game is over and he has a goal or two, I do think he will be off earlier than this. Also, Ramadan? Don’t think too much into it. 

Díaz: 65-80 minutes. Came off early against PSG which tells me there is a more than likely chance that Gakpo won’t be ready for the weekend (I wrote this pre-presser). Post-presser, I think the same. We may get some visuals from training later which could help steer us better. A video would be nice! 

Szoboszlai: 70 minutes. He’s played 90 minutes in 8 of the last 9 games (Plymouth). Mac Allister on here for a cameo. 

Gravenberch: 70 minutes. Endo to close the game out if we’re ahead. 

Konaté/Van Dijk: 90 minutes. I really doubt they’ll be working too hard… 

Tsimikas/Núñez/Jones: 90 minutes. 

My prediction last week was 8/11… not good. Time to recover!
