The Reds manager makes three changes to the side that beat Salzburg in midweek as Joe Gomez, James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri return to the starting eleven.

Gomez replaces the injured Dejan Lovren alongside Virgil van Dijk, whilst Milner starts at left-back to replace Andy Robertson, who is rested on the substitutes bench.

Shaqiri replaces Naby Keita as he partners Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson in the middle of the park. Keita joins Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana as alternative options on the bench.

The usual attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane continue up front as they look to continue their good scoring form against the Hornets.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Adrian, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Robertson, Origi, Williams.
