Liverpool starting XI: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, R Williams, Fabinho, Tsimikas; Clarkson, Keita, Minamino; Jota, Origi, Salah.

Liverpool substitutes: Adrian, Jaros, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Mane, Koumetio, Henderson, Jones, Robertson, Matip, N Williams, Cain.

Liverpool are back in Champions League action this evening as they travel to take on Midtjylland.

This is the Reds’ final group stage game, and Jurgen Klopp has been able to name a rotated side given that Liverpool are already through.

Caoimhin Kelleher keeps his place in goal, whilst Kostas Tsimikas starts alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rhys Williams and Fabinho in the back four.

Leighton Clarkson is given a start in midfield, alongside two players looking to get their seasons going in Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino.

Diogo Jota is back in the starting lineup having been on the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and joins Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi in attack.

Youngsters Vitezslav Jaros, Billy Koumetio, Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Jake Cain are all named on the bench tonight.

More experienced players such as Adrian, Georginio Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson, Andrew Robertson and Joel Matip are on the bench too, alongside Roberto Firmino, who is only a substitute after a knock in training.
