Liverpool’s team news has been confirmed, Reds – and Jurgen Klopp has gone bold for the heavyweight clash with Real Madrid.
Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips retain their spots in defence. Alisson is behind them in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson either side.
Fabinho starts as the anchor in the heart of midfield, complement by Gini Wijnaldum and Naby Keita – Thiago Alcantara starts on the bench.
Mo Salah and Sadio Mane start alongside Diogo Jota, who is in fine form, with Bobby Firmino joining Thiago on the bench.
What do you make of the starting XI, Reds? 🔴 #LFC #RMALIV #UCL pic.twitter.com/XnjTw1Y3i8

Klopp error-Wynaldum not in the same class as Thiago. Unfortunately, Thiago joined the wrong club.
