Jurgen Klopp rings in major changes to the Liverpool team sheet as the Reds take on FC Porto in the Champions League group stage outing at Anfield.
The Liverpool boss has insisted in the build-up to the game that his players will be out there to claim the win despite being already through to the Last-16 of the competition.
Rest for Van Dijk as Konate starts at centre-back
It is some much-needed and well-earned rest for the Dutchman Virgil van Dijk with Ibrahima Konate coming in at centre-back to start with Joel Matip.
Kostas Tsimikas retains his left-back role but Neco Williams is handed a rare start on the right side of the four-man backline for Liverpool.
Start for Taylor Morton while Minamino stars upfront
Skipper Jordan Henderson remains on the bench with Jurgen Klopp giving a starting role to Taylor Morton, the young midfield talent, in the centre of the park.
With Diogo Jota’s injury trouble over the weekend against Arsenal, Takumi Minamino is drafted as the central striker for the home side.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
