Mohamed Salah starts for Liverpool but Naby Keita sidelined for West Brom

Mohamed Salah starts for Liverpool as they host West Brom at Anfield.

The Egyptian came off the bench as a second-half substitute in the 7-0 win at Crystal Palace eight days ago, but resumes his place in the front three alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

Curtis Jones also starts in midfield following his cameo off the bench at Selhurst Park last week.

The teenager is joined in a midfield three by Gini Wijnaldum and captain Jordan Henderson.

Naby Keita misses out entirely with a fitness issue but Xherdan Shaqiri is fit enough to take a place on the bench for the first time since early November.

James Milner is also among the substitutes for the Reds.

Joel Matip is once more at centre-back alongside Fabinho with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson at right and left-back, respectively.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Shaqiri, Origi, R Williams, Phillips, N Williams.
