But Klopp has decided to drop summer signing Christian Benteke to the bench, with Roberto Firmino replacing the striker up front.

While Steven Caulker, who arrived on loan this week, will also have to settle for a place on the bench as Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure occupy both spots in the heart of the defence.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Lallana, Firmino

Subs: Ward, Caulker, Smith, Lucas, Allen, Teixeira, Benteke
