Diogo Jota starts at Manchester City as Liverpool return to Premier League action after three weeks away.
The Portugal international makes just his eighth start in all competitions at the Etihad as he goes in search of his first goal in what has been a largely injury-hit 12 months.
Darwin Nunez drops to the bench as a result with Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah completing the front three next to Jota.

LAST CHANCE: Vote for Liverpool's player of the month for March
In midfield, captain Jordan Henderson starts with Fabinho and Harvey Elliott as Klopp names the same trio that started the 7-0 win against Manchester United last month.
Ibrahima Konate partners Virgil van Dijk at centre-back with Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson completing the back five for the Reds this afternoon.
Despite a return to full team training this week this is no place for Luis Diaz in the match-day squad as he continues to work his way back after nearly six months on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Liverpool are without Curtis Jones, Fabio Carvalho, Nat Phillips and Adrian for the match with the Reds also unable to call on the injured Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita.
Erling Haaland, meanwhile, misses out for the hosts after failing to overcome a groin problem. The Premier League's 28-goal top scorer is absent as a result, meaning Pep Guardiola has opted for Julian Alvarez in his place.

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Milner, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tsimikas, Nunez, Arthur, Matip.
