James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri both feature on the bench as Liverpool FC take on basement side West Brom at Anfield, with the Merseysiders relishing the possibility of going five points clear at the top of the league table with a win over the Baggies.
Takumi Minamino and Naby Keita drop down to the substitutes bench as Mohammad Salah and Curtis Jones make their way back into the starting XI having missed Liverpool FC’s 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace last weekend.
Jurgen Klopp has been known to favour the midfield trio of Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and the returning Curtis Jones in league football as Thiago Alcantara remains on the sidelines with an extended hamstring issue.
However, an unchanged four-man backline indicates that the Reds will take no chances of going easy on their struggling opponents, who are now under the charge of the veteran Sam Allardyce, with the Englishman incidentally being the last visiting manager to Anfield to walk away with all three points.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
