Liverpool are going to have to turn in a performance for the ages in order to progress past Atalanta tonight.
The Reds have left themselves with a mountain to climb in the Europa League after losing last week’s home leg 3-0.
That result kicked off a dismal week for Liverpool.
Alisson Becker has declared his readiness for the match having returned to the starting line-up on Sunday.
And with Liverpool needing at least three goals at the Gewiss Stadium, Danny Murphy thinks Klopp is about to make some changes to his forward line, too.

There’s little question that Liverpool are capable of scoring three without reply against Atalanta this evening.
Having given up a two-goal lead late on to Hellas Verona on Monday, Atalanta are far from infallible.
On the flip side of that, Liverpool have a forward line who can be devastating.
They’ve been creating chances without scoring in the past two games, but eventually the hope is that that will start to click again.
If it does, it feels likely to come at least in part down to Diogo Jota.
“The thing is with Liverpool although they’re not scoring, their forwards have been misfiring, we’ve seen the numbers printed everywhere about the amount of chances and shots compared to the goals they’ve scored.
They don’t play cautious football,” says the pundit.
“Depending who he picks, I imagine Jota will play, probably Salah and Diaz, they’re going to have chances to score goals.”
If we know Alisson is playing, and assuming this is the front three, it still leaves question marks over who else will play for Liverpool.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that the Reds have a busy schedule in the Premier League over the next 10 days or so.
