Phillips returns from injury – Confirmed Liverpool team vs Man United

Sheffield United vs Liverpool - Nat Phillips

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for this afternoon’s clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford – which may not yet go ahead.

Nathaniel Phillips returns at the back and James Milner comes into midfield. Diogo Jota is kept on the substitutes bench alongside Gini Wijnaldum. However, it remains unclear whether the clash will go ahead due to a fans’ protest inside the stadium.

Alisson starts between the sticks, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nathaniel Phillips, Ozan Kabak and Andy Robertson starting in the back-line.

James Milner partners Fabinho and Thiago in midfield, with Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah starting up front.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Milner, Salah, Mane, Firmino.

Substitutes: Adrian, R.Williams, Tsimikas, Wijnaldum, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Shaqiri, Jota

Man United: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba, Rashford.

Substitutes: De Gea, Bailly, Telles, B.Williams, Tuanzebe, Mata, Matic, Van de Beek, Cavani.
