As expected, Andoni Iraola made several changes to the Starting Xi ahead of the UCL match vs. Villarreal. Trey Nyoni and Ryan Gravenberch come in the midfield, while Kostas Tsimikas comes in on the back line, and youngster Lewis Koumas gets the start up top.

Liverpool starting XI

Alisson, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Tsimikas, Araujo, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Koumas, Ngumoha.

What changed and why it matters

Andoni Iraola has talked about rotating players to keep them fresh. I think this lineup keeps the Reds competitive and has enough talent  and energy left in the legs for other competitions.

LFC Globe Verdict

This was the expected lineup from the Reds. It worked well for Liverpool the last UCL game vs. LASK. Why not use it again?
