Mohamed Salah is set to make his competitive debut for Liverpool as the Reds visit Vicarage Road to take on Watford.
The Egyptian winger has Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino for company in the front trio. Making his return to Premier League action alongside Mane is Jordan Henderson, who missed large parts of last season due to a foot injury.
James Milner is a surprise absentee from the starting eleven, with Jurgen Klopp picking Alberto Moreno over the veteran Englishman. Meanwhile, Dominic Solanke is in line to make his Premier League debut as well, starting from the bench for Liverpool.
For Watford, summer arrival Andre Gray starts from the bench, with Stefano Okaka starting as the lone striker in Marco Silva’s side. Roberto Pereyra starts as well after being frozen out of the side towards the end of last season.
