Trent Alexander-Arnold is named in the first XI for the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League tie with Benfica, but Jordan Henderson only makes the bench.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named in the first XI for the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League tie with Benfica, but Jordan Henderson only makes the bench.

Alexander-Arnold recovered from a hamstring injury quicker than expected and has been passed fit to take his place at right-back at the Estadio da Luz, while Ibrahima Konate takes the place of Joel Matip.

With Henderson named among the substitutes, Naby Keita - himself just back from a knee problem - earns a start in the engine room alongside Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara.

Mohamed Salah endured a difficult afternoon against Watford last time out, but the Egypt international is the only attacker to retain his spot in the lineup for Tuesday's game.

Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota both drop down to the bench, as Jurgen Klopp reintroduces Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane to the first XI following the international break.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Keita, Thiago; Diaz, Mane, Salah

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Firmino, Gomez, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Tsimikas, Matip, Elliott
