Trent Alexander Arnold on the return of the influential VVD: "He is a natural leader, speaks when he needs to speak, he is dominant, has a presence, you know when he enters a room - he is someone you listen to when he speaks, so that is exactly what you want from a leader. He is someone that a lot of players look up to, he is an amazing athlete, and an amazing footballer, as well as being an amazing guy, so he is someone that fits in perfectly. So to have him back now will only be better for us even more."

The headline news for Liverpool is that Virgil van Dijk starts and will make his first PL appearance since suffering a long-term knee ligament injury back in October last year.
Konstantinos Tsimikas comes in at left back for Andy Robertson while James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain feature in midfield with both Thiago and Jordan Henderson not involved. Diogo Jota is preferred to Roberto Firmino in attack.
