Liverpool will be able to use the Europa League to experiment with their squad and hand minutes to fringe players to impress as Jurgen Klopp shapes up what his starting lineup could be. The Reds begin their group stage campaign later in September with Klopp likely to rotate and rest his star players, but it won’t be a straightforward choice for the German boss to choose which players will feature in Europe for their initial six-game schedule.
