Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the team that started against Arsenal this weekend, for their UEFA Champions League contest against Crvena Zvezda. 

Liverpool have benched striker Roberto Firmino for their match against Crvena Zvezda at the Rajko Mitic Stadium on Tuesday. Daniel Sturridge comes into the team in place of the Brazilian international.

Adam Lallana also gets a starting berth in the middle of the park, at the expense of summer signing Fabinho, while the fit-again Naby Keita has been named on the bench by Jurgen Klopp.

There is also a change in defence, with Joel Matip getting a rare run out for the Merseysiders alongside Virgil van Dijk, ahead of Joe Gomez. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane keep their places in the attack for the Reds.
