Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Fabinho, Robertson; Henderson, Milner; Shaqiri, Minamino, Jota; Origi.

Liverpool substitutes: Adrian, Kelleher, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Cain, Mane, Salah, Jones, R Williams, N Williams.

Liverpool are back in action this evening, as they take on Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Champions League.

The Reds return to Anfield in Europe having beaten Ajax in Amsterdam last week, and Jurgen Klopp as decided to make a number of changes tonight.

The back line is the same as the one that beat Sheffield United 2-1 over the weekend, as Alisson starts behind a four-man defence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Fabinho and Andrew Robertson.

Jordan Henderson is joined in central midfield by James Milner, whilst it seems that Takumi Minamino will be playing as a number 10 tonight.

That leaves Xherdan Shaqiri on the right and Diogo Jota on the left, with Divock Origi leading the line this evening.

Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are all named on the bench, as is youngster Curtis Jones after a start against Ajax.

Adrian, Caoimhin Kelleher, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jake Cain, Rhys Williams and Neco Williams make up the rest of the substitutes.
