Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson make up the back line, with Kostas Tsimikas dropping out.
Slot has made a bold decision on the back of the international break, with none of his South Americans starting.

Szoboszlai is restored to the midfield alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones, leaving Alexis Mac Allister on the bench.
