Sadio Mane and Fabinho come into the starting XI for Liverpool as they gear up to take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool have made two changes to the starting lineup that took the field against Norwich City for their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg contest at the Wanda Metropolitano.
One of the change comes in midfield where Fabinho is reinstated to the side after being benched at the weekend. The Brazilian replaces Naby Keita in the Liverpool lineup, slotting in at the base of the midfield with captain Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum taking up the other two slots.

The second change in the side comes in the attacking department with Sadio Mane returning to the lineup. Mane made his return from injury against Norwich, coming on as a substitute to score the match-winning goal. He replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the final third, partnering Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
The backline in front of goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains intact with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson as the full-backs, while Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk pair up at the centre.
