Liverpool’s superb run in the League Cup, within which the Reds saw off the likes of Arsenal and Leicester City, has been rewarded with an appearance in the final against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
The Merseysiders will face the Blues without the talents of Bobby Firmino, though otherwise have sent a squad to Wembley bursting to the brim with quality.
Following a trophyless prior campaign blighted by injury, Jurgen Klopp’s outfit will be hopeful that this occasion helps spark a further run of success in the remaining fronts the club is set compete in.
Ahead of Caoimhin Kelleher in goal, the German has selected Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip.
Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho are once again joined by skipper Jordan Henderson in the middle of the park.
With Diogo Jota having only recently returned from an ankle ligament injury, Luis Diaz takes his place in the starting lineup alongside Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.
