Team News: Divock Origi, Tyler Morton start for Liverpool against AC Milan

Origi, Morton start for Liverpool against AC Milan

Divock Origi and Tyler Morton have both been named in the starting lineup for Liverpool's Champions League clash with AC Milan at San Siro.

With first place in Group B already assured, Jurgen Klopp has once again rotated his resources for the meeting with the Rossoneri, who are still in with a chance of finishing second.

Origi earns an expected start up top after adding to his long line of last-minute goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers, as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane continue alongside him.

After featuring from the off against Porto, Morton is again given the nod in an attack-minded midfield, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino also in the engine room.

Neco Williams and Kostas Tsimikas earn expected starts in the full-back areas, while Nat Phillips and Ibrahima Konate pair up in the heart of the back four.

Despite calls for Caoimhin Kelleher to start at San Siro, Klopp has elected to rely on the experience of first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker once more.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Williams, Phillips, Konate, Tsimikas; Morton, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino; Salah, Origi, Mane
