Liverpool's amazing 'new' line-up as Klopp boosted by incredible attacking talent

After losing multiple players to injury, COVID-19 and the Africa Cup of Nations in recent weeks, things are looking up.

Klopp will have to find some way of keeping all of Liverpool's attacking talent happy as they compete on four fronts.

That strength in depth may be the difference between winning trophies and missing out in the closing weeks and months of the 2021/22 campaign.

Win their game in hand and the Reds will be just six points off rivals Man City in the Premier League.

They are also into the final of the Carabao Cup, have Inter Milan in the last-16 of the Champions League and face Norwich in the FA Cup fifth round.

With fixtures coming thick and fast, Klopp will need all the help he can get and reinforcements are heading back.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will be returning following their Africa Cup of Nations exploits with the pair meeting in the final.

Harvey Elliott has just returned from a serious ankle injury and dazzled after coming off the bench against Cardiff in the FA Cup, scoring his first goal for the club.

Then there is the addition of Luis Diaz, who completed a £37million move from Porto during the January transfer window.

And do not forget about Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino, who have held down the fort admirably while Mane and Salah were at the AFCON.

The million dollar question for Klopp is how he fits all six into his team and how he rotates.

Mane and Salah, depending on their fitness on their return, are likely to be the mainstays in the XIs, with the remaining four rotating around them.

Here at talkSPORT.com, we've taken a look at how they could line-up in those scenarios

With Diaz and Elliott

Luis Diaz usually plays on the left, which will mean Mane shifting inside into a false nine role.

Salah takes up his usual spot on the right, with Elliott playing behind Mane in the number 10 role.

The super talented 18-year-old came on against Cardiff and took up a position on the right, but Klopp has previously talked about Elliott being a midfielder.

"In midfield, we have players with a lot of experience, such as Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita," Klopp told Norwegian channel TV2 in August. "In addition, we have exciting young boys in Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones."

With Firmino and Jota

This line-up will be more familiar to Liverpool fans with the much vaunted front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah devastating defences all over Europe in the last few seasons.

To get Jota into the line-up, he would play just off Firmino and has often played through the middle with Mane and Salah when the Brazilian has been unavailable.
