Naby Keita has returned to the starting lineup while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah start in attack as Liverpool get set to take on West Ham United.
Jurgen Klopp has made just one change to the side that started in the 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last week as Liverpool prepare to lock horns with West Ham United at Anfield.
Alisson Becker starts in goal as expected, with former West Ham goalkeeper Adrian his deputy. In defence, there is no looking past the four-man unit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.

The only change comes in midfield, with Naby Keita coming into the side in place of the injured Jordan Henderson. Keita will reprise the no. 8 role in the Liverpool captain’s stead, with Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum being his partners in the middle of the park. James Milner is omitted from the matchday squad due to a muscle strain.
The first-choice attacking trio starts as well, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino keeping their places. Mane and Salah are the two wide men who will come into central areas, with Firmino dropping off to make way for the duo.
Liverpool Starting Lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino
