Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs Brighton: Jota, Minamino start; Henderson on the bench

Diogo Jota and Takumi Minamino start while captain Jordan Henderson is on the bench as Liverpool get ready to take on Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has rung in the changes to the side that started in midweek against Atalanta for their Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.

There is almost entire new-look defence that takes the field, with Neco Williams the only player retained at the back from the midweek game.

Fabinho returns at the heart of the defence alongside Nathaniel Phillips, with Joel Matip and Rhys Williams making way. Andrew Robertson returns at left-back as well, after being rested in the UCL clash. Alisson Becker makes his 100th appearance for Liverpool in goal.

James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum feature once again in the middle of the park for the reigning Premier League champions. Captain Jordan Henderson is fit again and is named among the substitutes for the game at the Amex Stadium.

However, Curtis Jones drops out, making way for Takumi Minamino. There is no place for Sadio Mane in the starting XI either, with Diogo Jota returning to the side, while Roberto Firmino also starts after being left on the bench against Atalanta. Mohamed Salah completes what will be a fluid front four for the Reds.

Liverpool Confirmed XI: Alisson; Williams, Phillips, Fabinho, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum; Jota, Minamino, Firmino; Salah.
