Milner replaces Alexander-Arnold – Confirmed Liverpool team vs Porto
Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for tonight’s Champions League group B clash meeting against Porto.
The Reds boss makes just the sole change as Trent Alexander-Arnold misses out due to a groin injury, with James Milner replacing the youngster at right-back.
Milner joins Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in the Liverpool back-line, while Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones continue in the middle of the park.
Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah lead the line in attack, with Roberto Firmino named on the bench alongside the likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino amongst others.
