Roberto Firmino comes in for Diogo Jota while Trent Alexander-Arnold starts on the bench as Liverpool prepare to take on Wolves at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has made just one change to the side that started in the UEFA Champions League game against Ajax earlier this week as Liverpool get set to lock horns with Wolves at Anfield. There is no shuffle in goal, with Caoimhin Kelleher keeping hold of his place ahead of Adrian.

In defence, Neco Williams starts again as the Reds’ right-back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold only fit enough to make the bench. Joel Matip and Fabinho start at the heart of the Liverpool defence, with Andrew Robertson unsurprisingly keeping his place as the left-back.

Up ahead in midfield, there are no changes, with Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and Curtis Jones forming the three-man unit yet again. Klopp, though, will have Naby Keita to call upon later on in the game if required.

Finally, in the attack, former Wolves forward Diogo Jota has dropped down to the bench with Roberto Firmino starting in his stead. Firmino will reprise the False Nine role, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane being the two wide men for Liverpool, while Jota will be an option off the bench.

Liverpool Starting Lineup: Kelleher, Williams, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Mane, Salah, Firmino
