Andoni Iraola has made two changes to his Liverpool lineup for his first competitive game at Anfield, with Victor Munoz handed his full debut.
With no new arrivals or exits following the opening Premier League game – Bradley Barcola will complete his medical this weekend – Iraola has the same squad available against Nottingham Forest.
Alisson remains in goal behind a back four of Jeremie Frimpong, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez.
In midfield, Dominik Szoboszlai starts alongside Alexis Mac Allister, with Florian Wirtz acting as the No. 10.
On the right wing, Munoz replaces newly-turned 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha, with Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak completing the attack.
Ryan Gravenberch is among the substitutes, with Ronald Araujo, Wataru Endo, Ngumoha and Lewis Koumas also options for Iraola off the bench.
Liverpool owner John W. Henry and incoming vice-chairman Amit Bhatia will be in attendance for the Anfield opener.
Liverpool: Alisson; Frimpong, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Munoz, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak
Substitutes: Mamardashvili, Araujo, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Endo, Nyoni, McConnell, Ngumoha, Koumas
Nottingham Forest: Sels; Cunha, Milenkovic, Murillo; Aina, McAtee, Schlager, Williams; Ndoye, Gibbs-White; Igor Jesus
Substitutes: Victor, Diomande, Abbott, Netz, Dominguez, Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Wood, Delap
