Sadio Mane, Alisson Becker and Fabinho all return to the XI for Liverpool FC as Jurgen Klopp’s men welcome Manchester City on Merseyside.
The Senegalese international links up with his usual strike partners Roberto Firmino and Mohammad Salah upfront and Alisson once again starts between the sticks, replacing Caoimhin Kelleher, who had deputised for the Liverpool FC No.1 in the recent 1-0 defeat to Brighton.
Fabinho’s return sees the former AS Monaco man pair up with skipper Jordan Henderson at the heart of the backline as Nat Phillips is relegated to the bench by Jurgen Klopp despite a solid performance from him earlier this week against the Seagulls.
The fourth change for the hosts is the inclusion of Curtis Jones and the English starlet is handed a chance to showcase his abilities in the centre of the park alongside the familiar faces of Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago Alcantara.
Deadline day arrival Ozan Kabak features amongst the substitutes following the Turkish international getting international clearance upon his joining the Merseysiders from German outfit Schalke.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
