James Milner will lead the Reds out as we face Barcelona at Wembley this evening.

Elsewhere, Klopp’s picked three of our new signings, with Sadio Mane, Gini Wijnaldum, and Ragnar Klavan all named in the starting eleven. (Echo)

Klopp was insistent yesterday that the team that started today would not necessarily be the same eleven who lined up against Arsenal next weekend, but it looks like it could be to us.

There is no place in the eleven for either Marko Grujic or Joel Matip, but both are on the bench.

For Barca, Luis Suarez plays up front, while former Red Javier Mascherano also starts.
