Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs Leicester City: Wijnaldum at right-back; van Dijk, Shaqiri start

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made two changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace, for their home game against Leicester City on Wednesday night.

Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is fit again after missing the last game and starts as a makeshift right-back in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and James Milner. Virgil van Dijk has recovered from his illness and takes his place in defence alongside Joel Matip.

Fabinho, who returned to training only on Tuesday, drops out to the bench, with Naby Keita moving into the middle of the park to partner Jordan Henderson.

Xherdan Shaqiri is back in the starting XI to join forces with the terrific trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah. The fit-again Dejan Lovren is on the bench, as is teenager Rafa Camacho.
