Liverpool team news
Klopp is set to ring the changes, with the likes of Origi, Nathaniel Phillips, Takumi Minamino and Curtis Jones all in with strong shouts of earning places in the starting line-up.
The Reds, meanwhile, will remain without Roberto Firmino and Harvey Elliott through injury, while Thiago Alcantara pulled up with a calf problem against Crystal Palace and will certainly not be risked here.
So much to love about Millie’s performance on Saturday 🥰
