Liverpool team news and starting lineup for UEFA Champions League clash with Villarreal

Liverpool will look to continue their perfect start in Europe when they play host to Villarreal on Tuesday night.

While the Reds are yet to fire on all cylinders in the Premier League they have enjoyed an impressive start in the UEFA Champions League league stage, with a 2-1 win at home to Atletico de Madrid followed by 6-3 win at LASK.

Second half goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak saw Liverpool come from behind to claim all three points against Brentford on Saturday but the win was not without its downsides.

Both Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai were forced off at the Gtech Community Stadium in a fiery affair that saw Brentford eventually reduced to 9 men.

As a result, neither will feature this evening, forcing Andoni Iraola to make a number of changes ahead of the La Liga side's visit to Anfield.

One player that is fit to start however is Cody Gakpo.

The Dutch winger has been recovering from an ankle injury and hasn't featured for Liverpool since their 1-0 win over Bournemouth one month ago.

Gakpo is one of six changes to the starting XI from the win at Brentford, with Kostas Tsimikas, Ryan Gravenberch, Trey Nyoni, Louis Koumas, and Rio Ngumoha all entrusted with starts.

Liverpool confirmed starting XI

Alisson; Araujo, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Nyoni, Gakpo, Ngumoha, Koumas
