Jurgen Klopp has gone with Joel Matip as Virgil van Dijk’s partner at the back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson as the full backs.

Fabinho will protect the back four with Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara ahead of him.

Sadio Mane leads the Liverpool attack and will be flanked by Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz in the final third.

That means Diogo Jota is only on the bench, joining Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, James Milner, Naby Keita, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, Kostas Tsimikas and Divock Origi.

Manchester United appear to be playing with a back five ahead of goalkeeper David De Gea.

Phil Jones starts as one of three centre backs alongside Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot are the wing backs tonight, with Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba in midfield.

Bruno Fernandes may play as a false nine once again, with Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford coming in from the flanks.

Jadon Sancho only makes the bench tonight alongside Dean Henderson, Alex Telles, Eric Bailly, Hannibal Mejbri, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho.
