Centre back: Joe Gomez
The Englishman could have his hands full today facing an intense Leeds United press.
Centre back: Virgil van Dijk

Left back: Andy Robertson
Andy Robbo will be buoyed by the arrival of Kostas Tsimikas, he’ll be out to prove why he is number one.
Defensive midfield: Jordan Henderson
Surprisingly, the skipper makes the starting XI despite not playing since a lengthy injury lay off.
Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum
Even though there is a potential move to Barcelona looming the Dutchman starts in the Reds’ midfield.
Centre midfield: Naby Keita
The Guinean midfielder is being tipped for a big season for the Reds having finally found consistent form following a string of injuries.
Right wing: Mo Salah
Mo always turns it on when it matters, he’ll be terrorising Leeds today.
Left wing: Sadio Mane
Sadio came close to the PFA Player of the Year award last season, he’ll be wanting to go one better this time out.
Striker: Bobby Firmino
Bobby Firmino will give Leeds a rude awakening today, they won’t have faced movement like his in the Championship.
