Jurgen Klopp has been forced into excluding Dejan Lovren who is suffering from a virus, and has gone with the centre-back pairing of Lucas and Joel Matip. In midfield, as many expected, the trio of Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and Adam Lallana start.
Moving forward, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane have been in exceptional form down the flanks for the Reds and will start as left and right wingers respectively with Roberto Firmino playing as a false nine.
