Divock Origi starts up front alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino for Liverpool in their Premier League opener against Norwich City.

Sadio Mane is on the bench after returning to training on Monday after a busy summer at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Nathaniel Clyne, who'll be out of action for about six months, is the only player of Liverpool's first-team squad out injured.

Joe Gomez gets the nod over Joel Matip to start in defence alongside Virgil van Dijk. Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum start in midfield.

On Mane's fitness, Klopp said: "He had only two weeks off, so he didn't lose a lot and that's the good news.

"He looks fit. He was with the team for the first time and looks absolutely OK, in good spirits and looking forward to it. So, yes, he's an option but we will see."

Klopp added: "Millie trained yesterday (Thursday) with the team and was 100 per cent. He would have probably trained on Tuesday with the team, but we were not in. He will be fine."

Norwich, meanwhile, are without injured defenders Timm Klose and Christoph Zimmermann and midfielders Alex Tettey and Louis Thompson.

Summer signing Patrick Roberts is named on the bench.
