Jurgen Klopp was not short of options for his XI as Liverpool look to create a strong foundation against Inter Milan, and Harvey Elliott is named to start tonight.
Three days on from their latest victory, Liverpool are in Italy to meet Inter Milan in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie, knowing the away goal rule is no more.
The Reds arrive at the San Siro in a strong position with a healthy squad in tow, ensuring Klopp has a long list of options to turn to for any situation the match throws up.
