Alisson Becker once again mans the goalposts for Liverpool FC in spite of his recent blunders costing the Reds dearly as the Merseysiders take on RB Leipzig in the first leg of the Las-16 game in the UEFA Champions League.
Klopp’s men will be hoping to take the advantage while on the road to their German opponents before the second leg is played out at Anfield and recent form suggests that Liverpool FC are in for a tough test.
The Reds lost to Leicester City last Saturday, the third defeat in a row for the Premier League holders, and attention will be swiftly diverted towards European football for them after Jurgen Klopp admitted that retaining top-flight crown status was quite impossible.
Jordan Henderson is again drafted in the centre-back role alongside Ozan Kabak in an XI that is virtually unchanged barring James Milner’s exclusion due to injury.
Milner had to be taken off the King Power Stadium pitch last time around and replacing him in the lineup is Thiago Alcantara.
Ben Davies features on the bench for the away side after having missed out on the Foxes clash due to a knock sustained in training by the new Liverpool FC recruit.
Here is how both sides lineup for the upcoming Premier League fixture:

Subs: Martinez, Orban, Konate, Poulsen, Hwang, Sorloth, Samardzic, Kluivert, Halstenberg, Hartmann, Henrichs
