Liverpool team to face Salzburg in Champions League confirmed as Jurgen Klopp makes defensive switch

Joe Gomez comes in for Joel Matip as Liverpool make one change for the visit of Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League.

Matip missed training on Tuesday and will play no part as the European champions aim to kick-start their defence of the trophy against the Austrians at Anfield.

Adrian keeps his place in goal behind a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson.

Fabinho anchors the midfield with Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum alongside him with Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the front three.
