Jordan Henderson

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for today’s early kick-off against Burnley at Anfield.

Alisson starts in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas continuing in the back-line.

Henderson, Elliott and Naby Keita start in the centre of midfield, with Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah lining up in attack.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Keita, Elliott, Salah, Mane, Jota.

Substitutes: Adrian, Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Firmino, Gomez, Jones, Minamino, Robertson.
