Liverpool team confirmed for Manchester United as Salah and Firmino start

Jurgen Klopp makes five changes for Liverpool as Mohamed Salah returns to face Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Rhys Williams partners Fabinho in defence with Joel Matip left out of the squad all together after returning to action on Thursday in the defeat to Burnley.

Instead, it is Nat Phillips who takes a place with the substitutes as Jordan Henderson misses out again after picking up an injury earlier this week.

Curtis Jones starts in the Reds' front three alongside Salah and Roberto Firmino, who also returns to the team after sitting on the bench for an hour of the 1-0 loss to the Clarets.

Thiago Alcantara, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner make up Liverpool's midfield three with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri on the bench.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, R. Williams, Fabinho, Robertson; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Milner; Jones, Salah, Firmino.
