Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Jones; Salah, Diaz, Mane.

Liverpool substitutes: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Tsimikas, Origi.

Leeds United starting XI: Meslier; Dallas, Ayling, Struijk, Firpo; Forshaw, Klich; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison; James.

Leeds United substitutes: Klaesson, Cresswell, Shackleton, Bate, McCarron, Kenneh, Summerville, Gelhardt, Roberts.

Liverpool go with Alisson in goal tonight, with a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.

Fabinho will sit in front of the back four with Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones supporting the Brazilian in midfield.

Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz start once again with Sadio Mane leading the attack whilst Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are out.

That means Divock Origi is only on the bench, joining Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, James Milner, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Takumi Minamino and Kostas Tsimikas.

Leeds have Illan Meslier between the sticks, with Diego Llorente dropping out of the squad after struggling against Manchester United.

That means it’s a back four of Stuart Dallas, Luke Ayling, Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo ahead of Meslier tonight.

Adam Forshaw and Mateusz Klich start in midfield, with Rodrigo deployed in an attacking midfield role.

Raphinha returns to the side on the right flank with Jack Harrison on the left and Daniel James up top.

Tyler Roberts is on a very youthful bench, joining Kristoffer Klaesson, Charlie Cresswell, Jamie Shackleton, Lewis Bate, Liam McCarron, Nohan Kenneh, Crysencio Summerville and Joe Gelhardt.
