Ibrahima Konate’s return after injury against Napoli is a big lift for Liverpool. The Liverpool defender has been much-missed during injury absences this season.
Joe Gomez drops down to the bench to accommodate his return, while Andy Robertson is rested for Kostas Tsimikas.
Striker Darwin Nunez is another not in Liverpool’s starting line-up, despite scoring in wins away to Rangers and Ajax. Curtis Jones comes in, as does James Milner, with Harvey Elliott dropping to the bench.
Calvin Ramsay is on the bench after talk of a potential start.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Konate, Milner, Thiago, Fabinho, Jones, Firmino, Salah.
