Jordan Henderson, Fabio Carvalho and Roberto Firmino return to the side as Liverpool get set to welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the side that started in the 2-1 win over Ajax before the international break as Liverpool prepare to play hosts to Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield. There are no shuffles in goal, with Alisson Becker taking his spot between the sticks.

The defensive unit remains unchanged as well, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas lining up as the full-backs. And Joel Matip continues to pair up with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool defence against Brighton.

The first shuffle comes in the middle of the park, with Jordan Henderson replacing Harvey Elliott. The Liverpool captain joins Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara in the midfield unit, with Elliott and James Milner being backup options on the bench.

Finally, there are some surprising calls in the offensive unit, with Fabio Carvalho and Roberto Firmino starting alongside Mohamed Salah. Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are options on a star-studded bench, after the trio returned late from international duty.

Liverpool Starting Lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Carvalho
