Fixture: Spartak Moscow vs Liverpool
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Liverpool have announced their playing eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Spartak Moscow in an away Champions League fixture this evening.

Jurgen Klopp's men recorded a 2-2 draw at home against Sevilla in their opening group stage encounter and will be desperate to take all three points from their trip to Russia.




Klopp opts to play Loris Karius in goal, with Simon Mignolet dropping to the bench.

Elsewhere, the Liverpool manager names Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip as the centre-back pairing, while Trent Alexander-Arnold slots in at right-back. Emre Can and Jordan Henderson line up in midfield and there is also a start for Philippe Coutinho. Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah carry the attacking threat.

If Klopp needs to make changes at any point during the 90 minutes in Russia then he can turn to Daniel Sturridge off the bench, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
