Alisson (GK), Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson (c), Thiago Alcantara, Fabio Carvalho, Mohamed Salah, Firmino

Substitutes: Adrian, Gomez, Milner, Elliott, Jota, Diaz, Nunez, Arthur, Phillips

Three adjustments from the line-up that confronted Ajax in Liverpool’s final match earlier than the worldwide break, with Henderson in for Harvey Elliot, Carvalho for Luis Diaz, and Firmino changing Diogo Jota. 

Diaz, Jota and Nunez had a delayed begin to coaching after their return from the worldwide break, largely as a result of distance they’d travelled. Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita had been all dominated out by Klopp yesterday as a result of damage.
