Team News: Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers makes eight changes

Rodgers makes eight changes

Brendan Rodgers has made eight changes to his Liverpool side for tonight's Europa League encounter against Bordeaux.

The Northern Irishman decided to leave a number of players that started the 3-1 defeat to rivals Manchester United on Saturday at home, including summer signings Christian Benteke and James Milner.

Young Belgian striker Divock Origi has benefited from the omission of his countryman Benteke, while the absence of Milner has seen 18-year-old Jordan Rossiter come into the midfield.

Elsewhere, the fit-again Adam Lallana has been given a starting role, while centre-back Mamadou Sakho has taken the captain's armband.

As for the Ligue 1 hosts, their attack will include Diego Rolan, who spearheaded the Uruguayan frontline at the Copa America earlier this summer.

Bordeaux: Carrasso; Gajic, Pablo, Pallois, Poundje; Chantome, Maurice-Belay, Khazri, Saivet; Rolan, Crivelli Subs: Traore, Thelin, Poko, Vieira, Yambere, Guilbert, Prior

Liverpool: Mignolet; Gomez, Toure, Sakho, Moreno; Rossiter, Can, Ibe, Lallana, Coutinho; Origi Subs: Bogdan, Firmino, Ings, Brannagan, Randall, Cleary, Chirivella
