Matip misses out, Shaqiri starts – Confirmed LFC team vs Man United

Xherdan Shaqiri

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Manchester United.

The Reds boss makes a number of changes from the make-shift side that faced Aston Villa over a week ago. Joel Matip misses out, whilst Xherdan Shaqiri gets a rare start.

Alisson starts in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Andy Robertson lining up in defence.

Gini Wijnaldum, Thiago and Shaqiri start in midfield, with the usual trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane in attack.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Fabinho, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Shaqiri, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Substitutes: Kelleher, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Origi, R. Williams, Phillips, N. Williams.

Man United: De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

Substitutes: Henderson, Telles, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Mata, Matic, Van de Beek, Cavani, Greenwood.
