Darwin Nunez comes in to spearhead the attack as he replaces Diogo Jota from last weekend’s 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Jota played his part in both goals at Wolves but missed two training sessions in the build-up to the game. As a result, Nunez - absent at Wolves because of illness - is handed his third start of the season.

Slot has resisted rotation as Liverpool aim to continue their perfect start in the Champions League after earning a 3-1 triumph over AC Milan at the San Siro.

Federico Chiesa is ruled out because of injury along with Harvey Elliott. It means that 17-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni is among the substitutes for the home side as Champions League football returns to Anfield for the first time in 18 months.
