Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the side that beat Bournemouth last weekend as Liverpool prepare to host Napoli at Anfield in a UEFA Champions League group stage tie.

The three players bowing out are from last Saturday’s midfield quartet, with Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and Naby Keita dropping to the bench. James Milner has moved into the midfield, with Jordan Henderson returning to lead Liverpool against Napoli.

Trent Alexander-Arnold returns in the backline, starting as the right-back, with the final change coming in the form of Sadio Mane. The other major change comes in the formation, with Klopp reverting to his most favoured 4-3-3 for the final group stage tie against Napoli.
