(The Guardian) Here’s some pre-match managerial thoughts on the lineups:

--Jurgen Klopp: “We thought about changes but it was not really possible. Shaq would have started but he was not available.”
--Nuno on the four changes he has made: “No matter who is inside the pitch we are always confident we can compete with the best.”

*motions for the entire TTR staff to join both Ste_Macca and Webster in the gantry* And for the final time this decade, we are underway from Anfield!

(The Guardian) PEEP! Off we go then, Wolves kicking towards the Kop in the firs half. By the by, the visitors have had to make a late change on the bench: Cutrone is ill so 21-year-old Danish defender Oskar Buur is among the subs in his stead.

(The Guardian) 2 min: Salah gets some space on the left of the Wolves box and dinks a cross towards the back post. Alexander-Arnold, thundering in, makes a decent contact but it’s straight into the nearest defender. Confident start from the home side, though, as you’d expect.

4 min: It should be 1-0! Alexander-Arnold is fed by Lallana on the right. He has oceans of space and crosses low to Salah, who diverts the ball over the bar from close range.
