Jurgen Klopp has named a strong starting XI for the Dubai Super Cup clash with Lyon as Naby Keita returns to the substitutes' bench.
Keita hasn't featured in a match-day squad since the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in August but is back on a bench that also features Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kostas Tsimikas and exciting youngster Ben Doak.
The mid-season trip to Dubai offers Keita a chance to kick-start a season that has stalled massively since he pulled up with an injury on the eve of the Manchester United defeat in August.
