Liverpool have Caoimhin Kelleher in goal behind a much-changed back four of Conor Bradley, Billy Koumetio, Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas.

Tyler Morton keeps his place in midfield with Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain coming back in to aid him.

Neco Williams starts on the right wing, with Takumi Minamino on the left and Roberto Firmino up top.

Youngsters Marcelo Pitaluga, Kaide Gordon, Owen Beck, Jarell Quansah and Max Woltman all make the bench, joining Ibrahima Konate, James Milner, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.

Leicester go with Peter Schmeichel between the sticks, whilst it’s a back four of Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi, Caglar Soyuncu and Luke Thomas.

It then looks to be a midfield three of Youri Tielemans, Boubakary Soumare and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with James Maddison as a number 10.

Patson Daka parters Jamie Vardy in a dangerous front two full of pace.

Jakub Stolarczyk, Ryan Bertrand, Jannik Vestergaard, Ben Nelson, Nampalys Mendy, Marc Albrighton, Ademola Lookman, Ayoze Perez and Kelechi Iheanacho.
