Injuries to Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold open the door for Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez to come into the Liverpool XI for the group stage outing away at Rangers in the Champions League.
Virgil van Dijk retains his starting berth
Van Dijk has endured a patchy start to the season but keeps his place on the team sheet with Jurgen Klopp bereft of centre-back options after the injury to Matip in the last game against Arsenal.
Replacing the injured Alexander-Arnold in the right-back role is Joe Gomez with Kostas Tsimikas continuing to provide cover for Andy Robertson.
Harvey Elliott replaces Thiago in the midfield
Jordan Henderson retains his spot on the team sheet from the defeat to Arsenal but Thiago Alcantara gives way for Fabinho as the young Elliott comes into the XI in a three-man midfield lineup.
Mohamed Salah is another notable player dropping down to the bench alongside Diogo Jota with Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez joined by Fabio Carvalho up top on the pitch.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
