Liverpool Confirmed Lineup Vs Manchester United<\/h2>\n

Liverpool Team News<\/h3>\n

Alisson Becker starts in goal as he has done regularly since returning from injury. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are the full-back duo, with very few rotational options. Ibrahima Konate returns from injury to join Virgil van Dijk at centre-half, just in time as Joe Gomez is out with a hamstring issue for the near future.<\/p>\n

Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch <\/a>play just behind Curtis Jones with the Englishman in an attacking midfield role.<\/p>\n

Cody Gakpo starts on the left-wing, whilst Mohamed Salah is on the right; the Egyptian has returned a goal contribution in his last eleven Premier League matches. Luis Diaz starts up front, with Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez on the bench.<\/p>\n

Starting Lineup:<\/strong> Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Jones, Salah, Diaz.<\/p>\n

Notable Changes<\/h3>\n

Liverpool make just one change from their 5-0 crushing of West Ham a week ago.<\/p>\n

Jones started against the Hammers, with Dominik Szoboszlai suspended with five yellow cards, but Liverpool’s number 17 has done enough to keep his place.<\/p>\n

Konate makes his first start since injury in November, with Gomez completely absent due to a hamstring issue that could keep him sidelined for a while.<\/p>\n

Diaz retains his position at striker, and the same can be said for Gakpo on the left, despite Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota sitting on the bench.<\/p>\n
