The starting lineup, based on an ‘aggressive and overwhelming’ 4-3-3, includes Allison in goal, Alexander-Arnold, Van Djik, Matip and Robertson in defence while Henderson, Fabinho and Keita are in the three-man midfield.

Milan have faced Liverpool twice in European club competitions: the two Champions League finals in 2005 and in 2007. The rivalry is ready to be renewed.
