Alisson was ruled out with illness today, so Kelleher starts in goal. That is one of only two changes from the win at West Ham as Firmino returns but Sadio Mane remains out. Despite signing two defenders on deadline day, Henderson is again asked to fill in. Davies is on the bench.

Let’s get the team news from Anfield…
Liverpool face Manchester City next, at home on Sunday, and Pep Guardiola’s side have just restored their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League. A 2-0 win at Burnley takes City seven points clear of fourth-placed Liverpool having played the same number of games ahead of this match.
But Brighton also won at the weekend, dealing Spurs a swift second blow. And the Seagulls held Liverpool in the reverse fixture as a 93rd-minute penalty denied the Reds on the south coast.
Reigning champions Liverpool are looking for a third straight victory in the top flight after responding in style to a five-match winless stretch by beating Tottenham and West Ham away from home last week.
