Liverpool XI v Bordeaux named – Christian Benteke starts up top

Paul Joyce from the Express has named the Liverpool side which will take the field to face Bordeaux this evening in the Europa League. He’s a respected Merseyside journalist, and we’ve no reason to believe he’s wrong.

Here’s the side he claims is taking the field, along with a few of our thoughts:

GK) Simon Mignolet

Starts in Europe ahead of Adam Bogdan.

DR) Nathaniel Clyne

A win’s needed, so Clyne and not youngster Connor Randall is starting, sensibly.

DL) Alberto Moreno

Jose Enrique isn’t ready for first team duties yet, meaning Moreno continues on the left.

DC) Kolo Toure

Martin Skrtel’s ill, meaning Toure will cover for him in his and Mamadou Sakho’s absence.

DC) Dejan Lovren

Lovren will look to put in another strong performance after his positive Etihad outing.
