Liverpool XI vs Inter Milan: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, injury latest for Champions League today

Liverpool have named a strong side against Inter Milan in the Champions League last-16 later tonight as they look to finish off the job.

A 2-0 first-leg lead is being brought back to Anfield by the Reds, who are on a winning streak of 12 matches following Saturday’s narrow victory over West Ham.

Thiago Alcantara and Roberto Firmino both missed that game despite being on the verge of a return to fitness from hamstring and groin problems, respectively, and Thiago returns to start for the Reds. Joel Matip was also absent due to illness, but has recovered and partners Virgil van Dijk in defence.
