Fabinho will start at centre-back alongside Joel Matip in Liverpool’s Champions League first leg clash against Bayern Munich at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp was always going to have to make changes following injuries to Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez, while Virgil van Dijk is suspended for tonight’s game.

Roberto Firmino has also been given the nod despite the fact the forward missed Liverpool’s training on Monday, sparking concerns the Brazilian would not be fit enough.

As for Bayern, they are without Thomas Muller for both legs following his straight red card in their final group game at Ajax but they still boast a star-studded line-up.

The likes of Robert Lewandoswki and James Rodriguez and Kingsley Coman will be eager to tests how good their opponents’ make-shift defence is.

Midfielder Leon Goretzka misses out with an ankle injury, however. Below you can see the full Liverpool vs Bayern Munich team news.
