Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for this afternoon’s clash against West Ham United in the Premier League.

The Reds boss makes three changes as Nathaniel Phillips, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi return to the starting eleven. Sadio Mane isn’t involved due to a “minor” knock.

Alisson starts between the sticks with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson in defence.

James Milner continues alongside Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago in midfield. Roberto Firmino is on the bench as Shaqiri and Origi join Mohamed Salah up front.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Milner, Shaqiri, Salah, Origi.

Substitutes: Adrian, Kelleher, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Jones, Minamino, Tsimikas, R. Williams, N. Williams.
