Confirmed Liverpool lineup vs. Man United as Gakpo starts

Liverpool take on Man United in a crucial Premier League clash this evening, with Jurgen Klopp making three changes to his starting lineup.

After slip-ups from both Newcastle and Tottenham on Saturday, today’s fixture takes on even more importance as the Reds make a push for the top four.

On a run of four games unbeaten in the league, with the 2-0 victory over Wolves in midweek their third win in that stretch, Liverpool can take confidence into this tie.

Alisson starts and will look to make it three clean sheets in a row for the first time this season in all competitions – and a fifth consecutive league shutout.

In front of the Brazilian is a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson.

Fabinho keeps his place in midfield and is joined by Jordan Henderson and Harvey Elliott, with a big call made in attack.

Alongside Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez starts Cody Gakpo, who is expected to lead the line as striker.
