Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs Wolves: Salah, van Dijk benched; Diaz returns

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are only fit enough to start on the bench, but Luis Diaz returns as Liverpool prepare to take on Wolves at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has rung in the changes to the starting eleven as Liverpool get set to play hosts to Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final Premier League game of the season. But there are no shuffles at the back, where Alisson Becker retains his spot ahead of Caoimhin Kelleher.

The first changes come in the defensive unit, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson returning as the two full-backs. But Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip continue their partnership at the heart of the Liverpool defence, meaning Virgil van Dijk finds himself on the bench after recovering from his injury.

Up ahead in midfield, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara return, but Fabinho is not fit enough to make the starting eleven. Naby Keita retains his spot in the side, with James Milner and Curtis Jones dropping to the bench.

Meanwhile, the big news is that Mohamed Salah is only fit enough to make the bench. With Salah unavailable, Luis Diaz will likely start as the right-winger, with Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota joining him in the final third. Roberto Firmino sits alongside Salah on the bench, while Divock Origi misses his final home game for Liverpool with a muscle injury.
