Big calls but Slot surely sticks to winning formula

LIVERPOOL avoided another new low of a difficult campaign when they earned a comfortable 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa at home on Saturday evening.

- By IAN DOYLE

They face another major test of their Champions League credentials when they take on Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday evening in a rerun of last season's opening stage encounter.

And here we look ahead to the changes Slot could make when his team are next in action.

Robertson call

A return to winning ways will give Slot much to ponder over just how much he rotates for both the Real Madrid game and the Premier League trip to Manchester City next Sunday.

There won't, though, be any change in goal with the continued absence of Alisson Becker meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili is the preferred choice ahead of Freddie Woodman.

At right-back, Conor Bradley now faces the challenge of starting two games inside four days for the first time since Real last visited almost 12 months ago.
