Liverpool XI vs Flamengo: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup for Fifa Club World Cup final

Liverpool look set to welcome Virgil van Dijk back as they bid to become world champions for the first time by beating Flamengo in the Fifa Club World Cup final this evening.

The Dutchman missed the midweek semi-final victory over Monterrey due to illness, with midfielder Jordan Henderson taking his place, but has returned to training since and should be available to face the Copa Libertadores champions.

It looks unlikely that Gini Wijnaldum will be ready as he continues to nurse a muscle strain, but Jurgen Klopp is expected to restore a number of big guns who failed to make the starting XI on Wednesday - namely Trent Alexander- Arnold, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Klopp's biggest decision comes in midfield, where he must choose between Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Naby Keita, with the Guinean's recent goalscoring form likely to earn him the nod.
