Diogo Jota displaces Roberto Firmino off the starting XI for the game against Atalanta as the in-form Portuguese takes his place in the Liverpool FC frontline alongside Sadio Mane and Mohammad Salah.
Jota has been in fine form of late, and his inclusion in the XI comes as no surprise to many, largely due to the new Reds’ signing being on fire in front of the goal over the past few games in league football.
Elsewhere on the pitch, 19-year-old Rhys Williams patterns Joe Gomez as the two Liverpool FC centre-backs, with last weekend’s hero Nathaniel Phillips not eligible to play in the UEFA Champions League fixtures due to him not being a part of the registered 24-man squad of Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Curtis Jones is awarded a second consecutive start in the midfield trio, as the injury returnee Naby Keita features on the bench, and so does Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas, both of whom have been nursed back to full fitness ahead of Saturday’s Premier League action at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City.
Here is how Liverpool lines up for the Champions League fixture against Atalanta
