How we expect the Liverpool team to look on the opening day of the season.
With Liverpool finally announcing the signing of Christian Benteke, here’s a look at the side Brendan Rodgers could name on the opening day of the new Premier League season, with two more additions expected…
GK: Simon Mignolet
Remaining as number one, Simon Mignolet has earned another chance for Liverpool for next season.
DR: Nathaniel Clyne
A superb signing from Southampton, Nathaniel Clyne should instantly become a regular for the Reds in the 2015/16 season.
DL: Lucas Digne
Worth around £7m, Paris Saint-Germain left-back is believed to be another top target for Liverpool this summer as they consider replacing Alberto Moreno.

DC: Martin Skrtel
A strong and experienced defender, Martin Skrtel should continue as first choice for Liverpool in this position.
DC: Mamadou Sakho
After a strong pre-season, Mamadou Sakho has further cemented his place as first in line to partner Skrtel at Anfield.
MC: Jordan Henderson
New club captain, Jordan Henderson will be a key performer for Liverpool this season in their new-look lineup.
MC: James Milner
An excellent find on a free transfer, James Milner will surely go straight into the starting lineup for Liverpool this season, most likely in the centre of midfield.
AMR: Roberto Firmino
Able to play a variety of roles, Roberto Firmino fits in best on the right-hand side in our projected lineup, though as part of a fluid attacking midfield three.
AML: Philippe Coutinho
In a floating role from the left, Philippe Coutinho should play the role he filled for the Reds last season.
AMC: Marco Reus
One of the best players in the world, Marco Reus has emerged as a shock target for Liverpool in a £47.8m move and could take the number ten role just behind the main centre-forward.
FC: Christian Benteke
Confirmed as joining from Aston Villa in a £32.5m deal, Christian Benteke will surely be leading the line for Rodgers’ side this season, ahead of the injury-prone Daniel Sturridge.
