Naby Keita returns to the Liverpool side as Jurgen Klopp makes one change for the visit of Sheffield United on Thursday.
Adam Lallana is the midfielder who makes way as the Reds aim to stretch their Premier League lead to 13 points against Chris Wilder's Blades.
That means Joe Gomez continues his centre-back partnership with Virgil van Dijk as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are named at right and left-back, respectively.
Keita's midfield colleagues are captain Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino named up top.
