Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is fit to start while Adam Lallana replaces Naby Keita as the Reds get set to take on Wolves at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has made one change to the side that eased past Leicester City on Boxing Day, as Liverpool prepare to lock horns with Wolves at Anfield. The defensive unit sees no change, though, and nor does the goalkeeping slot, with Alisson Becker taking his place between the sticks once again.

Despite the urge to rotate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez start in the back four. The big news, though, is that captain Jordan Henderson is fit enough to start, which goes to show just how seriously Klopp is taking the Wolves challenge.

Henderson will likely sit at the base of Liverpool’s three-man midfield, with Georginio Wijnaldum keeping his place in the middle of the park as well. The only change in the starting lineup, however, comes in midfield, with Naby Keita making way for Adam Lallana.

There are no shuffles in attack, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino retaining their places upfront. Divock Origi is among the backup options for attack, with youngsters Neco Williams, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott among the youngsters hoping for a run out later in the game.

Liverpool Starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson; Lallana, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
