Luis Diaz makes his first start since October, while Harvey Elliott is somewhat of a surprise inclusion. Ibrahima Konaté also returns to the lineup after a one-game absence due to an injury. For Tottenham, as expected, they made a change in goal, but there are no other shakeups for the London side.

LFC Verdict
While it’s good to see Luis Diaz in the lineup again, it comes at the expense of Diogo Jota. That knock Jota received vs West Ham must have been more serious than it first appeared. Jürgen Klopp has said that several players have been performing well on the training ground and were close to breaking into the Starting XI. Havey Elliott must have been one of them.
