After managing to get a 3-2 win over Leicester City last weekend at the King Power Stadium, Liverpool will be resuming to Champions League duties this week for their next group match game and will be clashing with Spartak Moscow.
Jurgen Klopp is travelling to Russia with his men to face the Moscow club, and has confirmed his 21-man squad for the Tuesday game.
Samba star player Philippe Coutinho has been added back into the first-team after his transfer saga during the past summer window, and he played a big role helping his side get all 3 points in their recent premier league game.
The playmaker was included in the squad alongside the trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, and all of them could start together for the first time this term.
The Reds drew their opening Champions League group game with Sevilla at Anfield a few weeks back and are looking forward to winning the Russian premier league champions away from home this week – which will give them the chance to stamp their authority on the group.
Spartak are currently not having the best of their time and were forced to need a late equaliser to share points with Anzhi Makhachkala on Saturday. They have only been able to win just two games in their first five of the term, and are sitting seventh on the Russian league table.
They will be without their duo of Quincy Promes and Pedro Rocha on Tuesday, giving Liverpool a big edge over them.
This is the 21-man squad Liverpool released for the Tuesday game:
Goalkeepers
Karius, Mignolet, Ward.
Defenders
Lovren, Klavan, Moreno, Robertson, Matip, Flanagan, Alexander-Arnold.
Midfielders
Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Mane.
Attackers
Firmino, Sturridge, Solanke.
