Jurgen Klopp has chosen to deploy James Milner in midfield as Liverpool face NK Maribor in the UEFA Champions League.

Loris Karius does start in goal in Simon Mignolet’s stead and Trent Alexander-Arnold also replaces Joe Gomez in the starting eleven. However, the surprise is is in the form of James Milner, who has been handed a start in midfield by Jurgen Klopp for the Maribor fixture.

Many had expected Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be afforded a start. But, it seems Jurgen Klopp is insistent on a victory, with little changes to the lineup that featured in the 0-0 draw against Manchester United.
