Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp alters his formation to include four attackers for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has altered his formation to include four attackers for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

With all of Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson sitting out the second leg, Klopp has seemingly switched to a 4-2-3-1 shape as Liverpool try to overturn a three-goal deficit from the first leg.

James Milner comes in for a start at the home of the European champions alongside Fabinho, allowing Diogo Jota to join an all-out attack with Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

Salah and Jota will seemingly start out wide, with Gakpo acting in the number 10 role as Nunez occupies the striker's spot, while Naby Keita has recovered from a knock to make the bench.

There are few surprises in the backline, as Ibrahima Konate gets the nod to partner Virgil van Dijk, in spite of Joe Gomez's recovery from a muscle issue sustained in the first leg.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Alisson Becker complete an unchanged rearguard for the Reds, who are also without Calvin Ramsay, Luis Diaz and the ineligible Arthur.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Milner; Salah, Gakpo, Jota; Nunez

Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Gomez, Keita, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Matip, Elliott, Carvalho, Williams, Jones, Tsimikas
