Fellow new boy Darwin Nunez, who had a minor issue with blisters on his foot during Monday’s open training session, is among a lengthy list of substitutes named by Jurgen Klopp.

The game represents an opportunity for Academy youngsters Isaac Mabaya and Luke Chambers, who will line-up at right and left-back respectively.

Alisson begins in goal, with Nat Phillips partnering Joe Gomez at centre-back. Up front, Roberto Firmino leads the line, with Luis Diaz on the left and Harvey Elliott on the right.

Diogo Jota is the only member of the 37-man squad not involved as he continues his recovery from a hamstring problem suffered during the summer.

Many of those on the bench are expected to be given minutes taking into account the heat and humidity in the Thailand capital.

LIVERPOOL: Alisson; Mabaya, Phillips, Gomez, Chambers; Henderson, Morton, Carvalho; Elliott, Diaz, Firmino.

SUBS: Adrian, Mrozek, Davies, Van Dijk, Konate, Fabinho, Matip, Thiago, Milner, Keita, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Tsimikas, Robertson, Nunez, Bajcetic, Williams, Clark, Clarkson, Alexander-Arnold, Van den Berg, Norris, Hill, Frauendorf.

MAN UNITED: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes (c), Sancho, Rashford, Martial.
