Jurgen Klopp issues a recall to his key first-team regulars which sat out Sunday’s shock loss to Fulham as the Reds gear up to play RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Last 16 tie between the two sides.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ozan Kabak both return to the four-man backline for Liverpool FC after missing out last time around as Nat Phillips retains his spot at centre-back.
The centre of the park comprises Thiago, Wijnaldum and Fabinho, the latter of whom is handed an outing in midfield after a major spell in the makeshift role of a central defender for an injury-hit Reds side.
Sadio Mane also returns to the misfiring frontline and the Senegalese international will partner Diogo Jota and Mohammad Salah up top as Roberto Firmino remains sidelined for the midweek clash in Budapest.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Champions League fixture:
