Liverpool and Barcelona have named their starting XIs for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield.
Barça go into the match with a 3-0 lead from the first match, a match in which Lionel Messi stole the show with two late goals.
Naturally, the Argentine forward starts this evening alongside Luis Suárez – on his first return to Anfield after leaving the club back in 2014.
In fact, it’s the same line-up as last time out with Philippe Coutinho also playing at his old ground while Sergi Roberto is preferred at right-back.
For the home side, it’s a changed line-up from the first leg at Camp Nou with Mohamed Salah being deemed unfit following his concussion at the weekend.
It means that Divock Origi comes into the attack with Xherdan Shaqiri also getting a rare start.
Gini Wijnaldum, who played so well in Spain, is dropped to the bench with Jordan Henderson coming.
Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces Joe Gomez.
