The backline was as expected (from left to right): Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Conor Bradley.<\/p>\n<p>Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister have both started the last three matches and are regarded as two of Liverpool&#8217;s best players this season. Dominik Szoboszlai was dropped for Curtis Jones in the previous match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/16\/liverpool-poor-recent-form-jurgen-klopp\/\" target=\"_self\">Poor Liverpool Form Does Not Make Their Season A Failure<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Luis Diaz plays on the left wing, Mohamed Salah on the right, and Darwin Nunez as the striker. With the side failing to score in the last two, Klopp may look for alternatives in Diogo Jota.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong>Who Will Win the Premier League This Season?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THREE WAY WAR - Who Wins The Premier League?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6XQStPx9Lw0?start=327&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool&#8217;s Recent Form and Tactics Ahead of Atalanta Match<\/h3>\n<p>Losing 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace in their last match, Liverpool&#8217;s morale could not be any lower. This blow came just three days after the first-leg battering in this tie. It appears that the Reds have lost what seemed like a very good chance at two trophies, in the same week.<\/p>\n<p>It was the same tale of dominance and missed chances. Klopp&#8217;s side had 70% possession and missed an expected goal statistic (xG) of 2.81 including four big chances. Jota, Salah, and Jones all missed great opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/14\/liverpool-manager-search-roberto-de-zerbi\/\" target=\"_self\">Liverpool Handed Blow In Race For Manager Described As \u2018So Special And Unique\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, Liverpool didn&#8217;t look secure in defence either. Eberechi Eze&#8217;s goal was far too easy: Oliver Glasner&#8217;s side looked like prime Barcelona (despite not wearing their red and blue home strip), making 21 passes in the build-up.<\/p>\n<p>This continued with a further 1.39 xG after the 14th-minute goal, including two great Jean-Philippe Mateta chances denied by a Robertson goal-line clearance and a great Alisson save.<\/p>\n<p>The Merseyside outfit will need to be tighter at the back and more ruthless in attack if they stand any chance of overturning the three-goal deficit in Italy.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Bradley went off injured against Crystal Palace.
