[ad_1]

Mohamed Salah returns for Liverpool as they try to secure a place in the Champions League last 16 at home against Atalanta.

Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Andy Robertson are part of a solid substitute bench as Jurgen Klopp kicks off Kostas Tsimikas and Divock Origi.

Rhys and Neco Williams both start in the Reds’ four-backs alongside Joel Matip and Tsimikas, who are making their Champions League debuts at Anfield.

James Milner moves from right-back to midfield alongside Gini Wijnaldum and Curtis Jones, both of whom keep their places from Sunday’s 3-0 win over Leicester City.

Fabinho also starts off the bench for this one as Klopp rests the versatile midfielder after his recent return from a hamstring injury.

Teenagers Jake Cain, Leighton Clarkson and Billy Koumetio are also on the bench with Liverpool aiming to get into the hatch for the round of 16 for the fourth consecutive season under Klopp.
