Liverpool XI vs Sheffield United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest today

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has tonight made changes to his team to face Sheffield United.

The trip to Bramall Lane can be classified as a 'banana skin' for the Reds, as they take on the Premier League's bottom club after the return of manager Chris Wilder.

Liverpool's major team news before this evening's game is the absence of Joel Matip, who has been ruled out for several months with a knee injury.

Ibrahima Konate comes into defence at centre-back and is joined by Joe Gomez at left-back with Konstantinos Tsimikas getting a rest.

Cody Gakpo is also back in as Darwin Nunez also starts on the bench. Mohamed Salah is, of course, not rested - and will be chasing his 200th Liverpool goal - and Luis Diaz continues in the front three with Diogo Jota out injured.
