(Teams) Liverpool vs Sheffield United: confirmed Anfield lineups

Liverpool will seek to regain first place in the first division table with a win over Sheffield United at Anfield tonight.

Dominik Szobosozlai keeps his place in midfield alongside Alexis MacAllister, but Ryan Gravenberch is called up to start in the middle of the park in place of Endo Wantaru, who picked up a knock at the weekend.

Luis Díaz once again starts on Liverpool's left flank, while Darwin Núñez leads the forward line. Mohamed Salah He will look to get on the scoresheet while chasing the Golden Boot. Cody Gakpo has to settle for a place among the substitutes.
