The tactics that Klopp will employ are very much expected to be based around his obsession with high pressing and hard work, but how will that work with the squad at his disposal?
There has already been some bad news for the new manager, as he has had two players ruled out for the season with cruciate injuries in the form of Joe Gomez and Danny Ings, so where does that leave the plan for the Bundesliga winning coach, and what formation will get the best out of his side?
4-2-3-1
At Dortmund during his successful campaign in 2013/14 where they finished runners up to Bayern, he would often opt for a 4-2-3-1, putting Lewandowski up top on his own. Of course, Liverpool lack a striker of that world class talent, and while both Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke are very good, they are hardly on a record-breaking run of form like the Polish superstar is.
If he chooses to opt for that formation here, there would be a certain element of fitting square pegs in round holes. Although Benteke is injured, he would be expect to start up top on his own, and Sturridge ploughing a lonely furrow up front might not be the best use of his resources.

However, with attacking backs in the form of Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno, as well as two midfielders in Jordan Henderson and Lucas Leiva sitting back and protecting what has been a very vulnerable defence, there may be more positives than negatives to this formation for the manager.
4-4-2
It's a formation that goes in and out of style with every passing week it seems, but there are a number of variations that could make this one viable for Klopp's time in charge.
While it might be a bit unusual, perhaps a midfield diamond could get the best out of the talent that Liverpool have at their disposal in that part of the pitch. They're hardly weighed down with brilliant defenders or amazing strikers, but there are both competent and skillful midfielders on their books who could produce the right combination of hard work and creativity that would catch opposition teams on the break once the game gets stretched.

A place for Roberto Firmino might seem a bit odd, but the stats show that his pressing style would be perfectly suited to what the new Liverpool manager wants to achieve with this side, while Can and Henderson could interchange roles in that part of the field effectively. It does place huge stress on both Clyne and Moreno to provide width, but does slot the squad's players in to their more natural positions.
3-5-2
A hugely problematic formation for Brendan Rogers over the last few years, it went from being the cause of to the solution to, to back to being the cause of all of their problems. In some games it allowed them to swarm the opposition and score a number of early goals to kill off the game, while at other times it left them open and vulnerable.
For Klopp, having numbers in midfield will help his pressing plan, and provided that they can do the workload expected of them (something that Sturridge has proven before under Rogers) it would also be of benefit to have two forwards putting pressure on opposition defenders.

Clyne has had a strong start to the season, but dropping him in favour of having a slightly more attacking player on the right would allow for a better counter attack. Not only that but Ibe has shown flashes of the brilliant player he could become, and will surely be itching to seize his opportunity under a new manager.
Origi is a player who hasn't seen much time on the pitch yet, but has shown with some performances for Belgium that he has great quality, even if his last season wasn't one to remember.
Klopp has shown before that he's happy to drop the big names (he dropped two of the big name players at Dortmund, Alex Frei and Mladen Petric, when he first arrived because they didn't fit his system) and if Benteke is going to stand around up top waiting for service, he's unlikely to last very long under the new manager, no matter how big the fee was.
Of course, this is all (fairly wild) speculation on our parts until we see what the manger unveils on the weekend in his first game in charge, and how he adapts to the Premier League over the course of the season. While Milner is not mentioned in these lineups, he's likely to feature for his workrate alone, but simply isn't playing well enough at this moment in time to be featured in any Liverpool starting XI.
Whatever happens and however his team lines out, there will almost certainly be some activity from the club in January's transfer window to fill the gaps and employ Klopp's favoured formation.
