Joel Matip starts as Liverpool make three changes for this evening’s Premier League fixture with Burnley at Anfield.
The centre-back returns from injury in defence in place of Jordan Henderson, who is ruled out due to a minor fitness issue.
Elsewhere, Divock Origi and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain come in for Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino as a trio of alterations are made to the team deployed against Manchester United on Sunday.
Kostas Tsimikas is back among the substitutes after a knee problem. Georginio Wijnaldum captains the side.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson, Thiago, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Mane, Origi.
Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Firmino, Salah, Jones, Minamino, Tsimikas, Phillips, N. Williams.
Haha. Klopp resting for the FA Cup
I’m ready for the Origi renaissance 2.0. It starts tonight.
Fine with me! I want them to win that trophy.
Wasnt expecting that team. Gini captain shaq and ox in with origi. 4-2-3-1 I’d say. Origi or mane up front… hhmm well let’s hope this kick starts something for us… come on lads bang 4 in please
I presume Henderson is injured.
Ouch…is Henderson injured then?
Suggests Klopp is going strong in the cup, which I profoundly disagree with.
Also puzzled to see Origi start. I suppose he’ll be told to go out and just do mad shit.
OK. What’s happened to Hendo and what formation is that meant to be?
Imagines Ricky Tomlinson as Klopp saying “we’re going to play 4, 4, fucking 2”
Tonight is the more important game, we need 3 points
Where’s that come from…Gordon bennet…
The LFC social media said “minor fitness issue”.
Trent Matip Fabinho Robertson
Thiago Gini
Shaq Ox Mané
Origi
Minor fitness issue.
Yeah right, like I believe anyone anymore.
I was wanting a strong side on Sunday but not at the expense of 3 points tonight.
Called it !
You guys don’t think that XI is strong enough to beat Burnley?!
We are due rotation. And since we are being transparent, quite frankly Bobby should be sitting anyway.
