Liverpool face RB Leipzig on Wednesday night in the Champions League �and some Reds fans on Twitter have urged manager Jurgen Klopp to play rarely-seen defender Konstantinos Tsimikas.

The Merseyside giants face German opposition Leipzig in midweek in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

Klopp’s side currently have a two-goal aggregate lead and play their home leg tonight, albeit it’s being played at a neutral venue in Budapest.

Liverpool were fairly comfortable in the 2-0 win against Leipzig, but their domestic form surrounding that European tie has been woeful.

Last year’s Premier League champions have remarkably lost six of their previous seven top-flight games.

A selection of Liverpool supporters on social media have suggested that a good change to make to the XI against Leipzig would be resting first-choice left-back Andy Robertson, allowing Tsimikas to play.

Tsimikas, who cost £11.75million () last summer, has been understudy to Robertson this season.

But the 24-year-old full-back has only played in five games across all competitions, with Klopp continuing to overlook him.

It’s clear that there is a lack of trust in the Greece international, but no doubt Robertson is one of the individuals who’s being relied upon week in week out and is tiring.
