Liverpool take on Villarreal at Anfield tonight with a place in the Champions League final up for grabs.

The Reds dumped Benfica out in the quarter-finals and are now just two games away from the final against either Manchester City of Real Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp makes three changes tonight but Alisson keeps his place in goal as you would expect.

Ibrahima Konate comes in for Joel Matip at centre back, joining Virgil van Dijk.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson are the full backs once again, continuing their heavy workload.

Fabinho starts in holding midfield whilst Naby Keita drops out of the team in favour of Jordan Henderson.

Thiago takes the other midfield spot having been in sensational form of late.

Luis Diaz returns to the starting lineup in place of Diogo Jota, with Mohamed Salah on the right and Sadio Mane up front.

Matip, Keita and Jota all drop down to the bench having started against Everton on Sunday.

They join fellow substitutes Adrian, Caoimhin Kelleher, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Takumi Minamino, Divock Origi, Rhys Williams and Harvey Elliott.
