Confirmed Liverpool team vs Leeds – Henderson, Trent and Keita get the nod

Naby Keita

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool XI for this afternoon’s opening Premier League clash against Leeds United.

The Reds boss makes three changes to the side that started against Arsenal in the Community Shield a fortnight ago as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita come into the side.

Alisson starts in goal, with Alexander-Arnold returning from injury alongside Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in the Reds back-line.

Henderson and Keita come into the middle of the park alongside Gini Wijnaldum, while the usual trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino start in attack.

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

Substitutes: Adrian, Fabinho, Milner, Jones, Minamino, Origi, Matip
