Alisson starts for Liverpool as team news confirmed for Sheffield United

Alisson Becker returns in goal for Liverpool as they host Sheffield United at Anfield.

The Brazilian hasn’t played for nearly a month after injuring his shoulder in training at Melwood but is back in for the Saturday evening game.

Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita miss out however as Jurgen Klopp adjusts to what would appear to be a 4-2-3-1 against the Blades.

In comes Diogo Jota alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane with Roberto Firmino leading the line in a very attacking lineup from manager Klopp.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Gomez, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum; Jota, Mane, Salah; Firmino

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Jones, Minamino, Shaqiri, Phillips, N. Williams
