Midfield
Gerrard is finding it difficult in deploying both Kyle Lafferty and Alfredo Morelos upfront and should go for a 4-1-3-2 setup, using Ryan Jack in the defensive midfield role to screen the back four and drag the ball out from the deep.
Ovie Ejaria lost his concentration while tracking Tom Rogic in the Old Firm derby and paid the price when Olivier Ntcham scored the solitary goal of the game. But the young Liverpool loanee has been a standout in recent fixtures and should start the game in his preferred box-to-box role.
Scott Arfield, meanwhile, has been handed a free role in the middle of the park but should be deployed in a left midfield role like during his Burnley days.
Daniel Candeias, the hard-working Portuguese wide midfielder, should be handed a start on the other flank to help Tavernier defensively and also link-up with his skipper using the width of the pitch.
Ryan Kent is another exciting option capable to feature on either of the wings but is expected to be introduced later on if the situation demands it.
Attack
Kyle Lafferty scored a brace against Motherwell on his return to his former club and should be lining up alongside Alfredo Morelos who recently made the senior international debut for Colombia.
The Colombian, however, should manage his temperament better in order to be back on the scoresheet.
