Steven Gerrard made two changes to the team from their 0-2 defeat against AFC Bournemouth. Ollie Watkins replaced Leon Bailey, and Tyrone Mings came back into the defence. His team operated with two strikers and played in a 4-3-1-2 formation. In the final minutes of the match, Gerrard’s side shifted to a five-at-the-back formation to defend the goal.
