In total, Liverpool make five changes from the side that earned a 1-1 draw against Arsenal three days ago. Luis Diaz has been dropped to the bench, having been withdrawn in the stalemate with the Gunners following a collision. Darwin Nunez comes into the line-up on the left flank.

In midfield, Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch replace Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones respectively.

Kostas Tsimikas broke his collarbone against Arsenal so Joe Gomez features at left-back with Andy Robertson still sidelined with a shoulder issue. Meanwhile, Jarell Quansah is handed an outing as Ibrahima Konate is given a rest.

A win for Liverpool will see them move to the top of the table.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, van Dijk, Gomez, Endo, Elliott, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Bradley, Chambers, Szoboszlai, Jones, McConnell, Diaz, Jota.
