Brendan Rodgers has named a very strong starting eleven against Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight in the League Cup, with Luis Suarez returning to the team.
Suarez plays for the first time since the 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Anfield back in April when he bit Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic and was subsequently banned for 10 matches.
In a decision that will raise some eyebrows with tonight being a League Cup third round game and the potential banana skin Premier League game on Sunday at Sunderland, Rodgers has named pretty much his strongest line-up.
Mamadou Sakho and Martin Skrtel start at centre-back, supported by Kolo Toure at right-back and Jose Enrique on the left.
Lucas and Steven Gerrard hold back in midfield with Jordan Henderson ahead and Victor Moses and Suarez supporting Daniel Sturridge in attack.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Toure, Sakho, Skrtel, Enrique, Henderson, Lucas, Gerrard, Moses, Suarez, Sturridge
Subs: Jones, Alberto, Aspas, Sterling, Ibe, Kelly, Wisdom
Man Utd: De Gea; Rafael, Evans, Smalling, Büttner; Nani, Jones, Giggs, Kagawa; Rooney, Hernandez.
Subs: Anderson, Carrick, Welbeck, Fabio, Zaha, Ben Amos, Januzaj.
Manchester United vs Liverpool gets underway at 7.45pm and is live on Sky Sports. There are also highlights on BBC One from 11.05pm.
