Liverpool v LASK Confirmed Lineup: LFC Starting XI & Team News

Liverpool face LASK in the Champions League at 17:45 BST, and the Reds' fans will be hoping for a solid performance to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield last time around.

A win against LASK would put Liverpool in a strong position in the Champions League table, building on an impressive matchday-one win against Atletico Madrid.

Alisson Becker | Alisson keeps his place in between the sticks for tonight's Champions League clash.  

Kostas Tsimikas | Despite appearing alongside Andoni Iraola during the pre-match press conference, Milos Kerkez drops out of the starting XI for this one. Instead, Tsimikas is given the opportunity to prove his usefulness once again.

Jeremy Jacquet | Jacquet starts, allowing Virgil van Dijk to rest and recover before an important Premier League fixture against Brentford this weekend.  

Ronald Araujo | Araujo starts again, this time at centre-half, despite having had one of the most intense international schedules of any player in the Liverpool squad.  

Jeremie Frimpong | Frimpong starts for the first time since Liverpool's 3-1 September win over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. Having lost his starting right-back role to Ronald Araujo earlier in the season, he will be hoping to impress alongside the Uruguayan tonight.

Trey Nyoni | Nyoni gets a much-anticipated start against LASK tonight. The youngster will want to show Andoni Iraola that he can be relied upon as an option from minute zero.

Ryan Gravenberch | Despite being controversially sent off against Manchester City, Gravenberch had his best performance of the season last time out. He will be unable to play against Brentford on the weekend, so it makes sense that he starts this game.

Florian Wirtz | Wirtz struggled, particularly in possession, once again against Manchester City. He tends to look more assured in Europe, and a big performance tonight is needed to ensure that his Liverpool career does not completely derail.  

Bradley Barcola | Barcola has not yet scored for Liverpool. Against, on paper, weaker opposition tonight, many will be expecting Barcola to open his account. It would be particularly helpful if he did, given the continued absence of Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.

Rio Ngumoha | Ngumoha is another who makes his first start since Liverpool's 3-1 win over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. The youngster has had a steady start to the season, but a goal in Europe would do him no harm - he now faces stiff competition in the wide areas from new signings Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz.

Lewis Koumas | With few options to play up front, Iraola is forced to ask Koumas to lead the line again, only two days after he left everything on the pitch against Manchester City. It will be a big test for Koumas whether he can replicate that level of physical performance again in Austria tonight.

Starting XI: Alisson, Tsimikas, Jacquet, Araujo, Frimpong, Nyoni, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Barcola, Ngumoha, Koumas.

On the bench: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Munoz, Chambers, McConnell, Danns, Sonni-Lambie, Lucky.
