Team News: Harvey Elliott starts for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane absent

Elliott starts for Liverpool, Salah and Mane absent

Harvey Elliott has made the starting lineup for Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final with Nottingham Forest, but Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both miss out.

Salah recovered from a foot injury in time to come on as a substitute in the midweek victory over Arsenal, but Jurgen Klopp revealed at his pre-game press conference that the issue has flared up again.

Meanwhile, Mane is likely to have been left out in order to enjoy a well-earned rest, with Elliott joining Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino in the front three.

Alisson Becker starts in goal with Caoimhin Kelleher nowhere to be seen, while Joe Gomez gets the nod at right-back as Trent Alexander-Arnold recovers from a hamstring injury.

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earn starts in midfield, with James Milner not quite ready to return from his illness, but Kostas Tsimikas has recovered to start at left-back.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Elliott, Firmino, Jota

Substitutes: Adrian, Thiago, Henderson, Jones, Minamino, Diaz, Origi, Matip, Beck
