Liverpool team: Divock Origi starts Champions League clash – Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on bench

Jurgen Klopp has made FOUR changes to the Liverpool side that beat Sheffield United last weekend, most notably leaving his dangerous front three out of the starting XI.

Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are all on the bench as the Reds welcome Danish side FC Midtjylland to Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

In place of the star forwards, Klopp has given Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Xherdan Shaqiri rare starts.

The other change sees James Milner comes in for Georginio Wijnaldum, while Diogo Jota, who scored the winner against the Blades, keeps his place in the team.

Midfielder Fabinho plays alongside Joe Gomez for a third straight match with Virgil van Dijk a long-term absentee.
