**Liverpool are set to take on Atletico Madrid in their first UEFA Champions League game of the new season.**
The game is also Andoni Iraola’s first in the competition, having joined the club earlier this summer after a successful three-year stint with Bournemouth.
The Reds have made just two changes to their starting XI from the one that faced Ipswich Town on the weekend.
Cody Gakpo missed training yesterday as a precaution and doesn’t feature in the matchday squad.
Bradley Barcola stars in his place, with the Frenchman set to make his Anfield debut after coming on as a late second-half substitute at Portman Road.
Victor Munoz has impressed since his summer transfer and drops to the bench in favour of Rio Ngumoha, while there is also a place on the bench for young striker Jayden Danns.
**Confirmed Liverpool XI vs Atletico Madrid:** Alisson Becker; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Dom Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister; Rio Ngumoha, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola; Alexander Isak
