Liverpool begins its Champions League campaign on Wednesday, Sept. 9 when it hosts La Liga side Atlético Madrid.
The Reds are coming off their first win under Andoni Iraola, defeating newly promoted Ipswich Town 2-0 on Friday thanks to an Alexander Isak double.
That game also saw the Liverpool debut of Bradley Barcola, who arrived last week from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee worth up to £123 million ($166m).
Barcola came off the bench against Ipswich, but will make his first Liverpool start on Wednesday.
Liverpool will still be without long-term injury absences Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, though Gomez and Leoni appear close to returning.
Here is how Liverpool will line up for Wednesday's game against Atletico.
