Joe Gomez vs Conor Bradley - Danny Murphy gives his take on who should start for Liverpool vs Chelsea
The Reds are the favorites going into the EFL Cup final on February 25. However, their piling list of injuries can be a reason for concern. Vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of the clash.
The choice now remains for Klopp to opt between impressive youngster Conor Bradley and Liverpool's versatile defender Joe Gomez. Danny Murphy has given his take on the matter, claiming (via The Boot Room):
"I think he will have to make a decision on Gomez at right-back or if he sticks with Conor Bradley in there. I'd play the young lad. Go after Chelsea, they're more in fear of you than you are of them, he was just Man of the Match against Chelsea, let him go again."
Liverpool beat Chelsea 4-1 the last time the two sides met on January 31.
