Mo Salah is restored to the team, with 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha dropping to the bench despite impressing against Spurs. In addition, Hugo Ekitike spearheads the attack ahead of Cody Gakpo.

Liverpool: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Ekitike, Wirtz.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Gomez, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Robertson, Nyoni, Nallo, Morrison, Ngumoha.
