It must be acknowledged that Liverpool hasn’t had a wonderful few days. The Reds now have a disadvantage in the race for the Premier League championship and will have a difficult time making progress in the Europa League.

Now sitting two points behind table-topping Manchester City but tied with Arsenal on 71 points, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team is third in the standings.

Liverpool’s Europa League quarterfinal first leg at Anfield last week ended in a depressing 3-0 loss to Atalanta. With remarkable success, the Italians took the game to the Reds.

Now, the Reds will try to travel to Atalanta to play the game on their home field in the hopes of scoring an early goal that would worry the hosts.

In light of this, Klopp must choose a truly inventive team that can challenge the Serie A team right away.

Furthermore, we believe that the Liverpool manager will aim to be as inventive as possible when choosing Harvey Elliott for his starting lineup.

Why is Harvey Elliott supposed to start for Liverpool against Atalanta?

Although the 21-year-old has emerged as a vital player for the Reds this season, he is still not getting the number of starts that he may be due.

Elliott has “got everything” he needs to achieve and is a “terrific” and “absolutely exceptional” talent.

He should thus be starting for Liverpool tonight in the starting lineup so that he may show off his skill and enthusiasm.

Additionally, Dominik Szoboszlai and Elliott will be Klopp’s midfield partners, with Alexis Mac Allister starting at number six.

Not too long ago, Liverpool defeated Barcelona 4-0 at home in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final match to overcome a 3-0 first-leg deficit.

Even though this game is being played away from home, Atalanta would definitely feel more uneasy if they scored an early goal.

Liverpool is capable of doing this kind of thing since they have done it before.
