Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs FC Porto: van Dijk makes European Reds debut

Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the side that beat Southampton last weekend as Liverpool prepare to face FC Porto at Dragao in the Champions League Round of 16.

Virgil van Dijk is set to make his Champions League debut with Liverpool, and will be partnered by Dejan Lovren at the heart of defence, with the Croat replacing Joel Matip. Jordan Henderson and James Milner also return to the side, with Emre Can and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain making way for the English duo.

For the hosts, star striker Vincent Aboubakar has failed to regain fitness, meaning Tiquinho continues in the strike partnership alongside Moussa Marega. Ivan Marcano has recovered from his injury to return to the starting lineup.
