Liverpool possible 11:

Atletico Madrid possible 11:
Oblak, Hermoso, Gimenez, Felipe, Carrasco, Koke, De Paul, Trippier, Felix, Correa and Suarez
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid
Liverpool would be eager to secure qualification with a win in this one.
The Reds have performed well at home and would be favourites to complete the job.
Griezmann’s absence will affect Atletico’s source of goals and play and hence, Suarez remains the key to dismantle his ex-club.
This should be a clash going down to wire with the hosts nicking it by the odd goal.
Players to watch out for: Salah, Henderson, Suarez and Correa.
