Liverpool face AC Milan in what is something of a dead rubber Champions League tie on Tuesday evening.

The Reds have already qualified as group winners in the Champions League, and while they want to win every game, there really isn’t anything riding on this match.

Milan and Liverpool have played out some of the greatest games in Champions League history, including the 2005 and the 2007 finals, but it’s fair to say that Tuesday’s game may not be one that lives long in the memory.

Indeed, with the group already won, Jurgen Klopp may be tempted to rotate his squad ahead of a very busy festive period, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Reds’ starting XI for this one.

We think that Klopp will make eight changes from the side that beat Wolves at the weekend.

Alisson remains in goal, but it’s a completely new-look back four as Neco Williams, Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips and Ibrahima Konate all come in.

Meanwhile, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi come in up to, while Mo Salah gets the chance to make history and become the Liverpool player to have scored the most goals in a single Champions League group stage – he currently sits level with Roberto Firmino on six strikes.
