Unsurprisingly, Liverpool made 7 changes in the Starting XI for the final day of the season. James Milner gets a start in his final match with the Reds while reserve goalie Caoimhin Kelleher gets some needed minutes between the pipes. Mohamed Salah gets the start though along with a few other regulars to give Liverpool a good mix of players.

LFC Globe Verdict
I love this lineup, not so much for any tactical reasons but for sentiment’s sake. James Milner deserves a start for all the work he has done for Liverpool. Conversely, Alisson needs a day off after a long season in goal. Also, it is good to see Salah getting the start to chase his 20th Premier League goal of the season. It would not surprise me to see the Egyptian King subbed off if he scores.
