Tonight's line-up to face @Everton…
Liverpool are without first-choice left-back Andy Robertson, who has failed to shake off a knock in time to feature.
Forward Mo Salah is only fit enough for a place on the bench.
Vice-captain James Milner deputises for Robertson.
There are six changes to the side defeated by Atletico Madrid in Liverpool’s last competitive game.
Fit-again goalkeeper Alisson, Joel Matip, Milner, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Tukimi Minamino come into Jurgen Klopp’s team.
They replace Adrian, Joe Gomez, Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gini Wijnaldum and Salah.
Starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Milner, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Minamino, Mane, Firmino
