Darwin Nunez starts as exciting partnership reunited in Liverpool line-up against Salzburg

Darwin Nunez starts for Liverpool as they end their pre-season tour with a friendly against Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.

Nunez came off the bench to score four times in the 5-0 hammering of RB Leipzig last week and is named in the front three from the start alongside Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho.

In what is something of an experimental starting XI, Stefan Bajcetic anchors the midfield with Naby Keita and Curtis Jones named ahead of the 17-year-old Spanish youth international.
