Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might make his first Champions League start
for Liverpool, against Maribor on
Tuesday. Klopp was impressed with the midfielder's performance after he came on
as a substitute in the 0-0 draw with Manchester
United on Saturday, and it may have been enough to earn him a start in
Slovenia.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has got off to a stuttering start at Anfield after his £35m Deadline Day move from Arsenal, starting just once, in a defeat at Leicester in the Carabao Cup.

Klopp said at his press conference on Monday “I really loved the performance when he came
on. He needed a little bit of time and my most positive thing was that finally
he has arrived. He is a big signing for us, obviously, but a fast player like
him needs the circumstances to perform so he needed time. But then Saturday -
'bang!'. Comes on, uses his speed, really spot on, it was a very nice sign. I
loved to see it. I was not only happy about his offensive situation. I also
liked the way he reacted after we lost the ball, little things. I cannot say
how happy I was to see Chambo playing like this. I don't know about the line-up
today. He is in my mind - if it is about a start, you will see Tuesday.”
