Naby Keita

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool side for tonight’s final Premier League home game of the season against Chelsea.

The Reds boss makes one change to the side that lost against Arsenal last week as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes way for Naby Keita.

Alisson starts between the sticks, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in the Reds back-line ahead of the Brazilian.

Keita comes into the middle of the park alongside Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum, while the usual trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino continue in attack.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Adrian, Lovren, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi, Jones.

Chelsea: Kepa, James, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Giroud, Mount.

Substitutes: Caballero, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Pedro, Pulisic, Abraham.
