Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp makes a total of seven changes for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made a total of seven changes for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica at Anfield.

Only Alisson Becker, Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson and Diogo Jota have held their spots in the lineup, even though the latter is one booking away from a European suspension.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are both rested from the off, with Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas both coming into the side.

Ibrahima Konate returns to the fold as expected in place of Virgil van Dijk, as Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara drop to the bench, with the latter absent from training on Friday for unspecified reasons.

Naby Keita returns to the engine room alongside Henderson, while James Milner also earns a rare start for the meeting with Nelson Verissimo's side.

Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz are back in the attack after starting on the bench against Manchester City, as Mohamed Salah - who is one goal away from becoming Liverpool's record Champions League goalscorer at Anfield - makes the bench.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas; Henderson, Milner, Keita; Jota, Firmino, Diaz

Substitutes: Kelleher, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Thiago, Mane, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Robertson, Origi, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott
