Hugo Ekitike was restored in attack and Ryan Gravenberch returned to midfield.

Federico Chiesa and Florian Wirtz made way from the team that began last weekend’s victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Wirtz had originally been named in the starting XI at the City Ground but was replaced by Curtis Jones before kick-off and withdrew from the squad.

Freddie Woodman was added to the bench in his place.

Liverpool: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Ekitike, Gravenberch.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Gomez, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha.
