Naby Keita makes his first start for Liverpool in nearly six months as Rhian Brewster makes his senior Liverpool debut at MK Dons.
Keita hasn't played a competitive game since limping out of the Champions League semi-final in Barcelona on May 1 but is named in a midfield three alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana as the Reds get their Carabao Cup campaign up and running at Stadium MK.
Harvey Elliott will become the second youngest player in Liverpool's history when he starts on the right of a front three, with only Jerome Sinclair at 16 years and six days, younger than the former Fulham starlet.
