Liverpool's head coach Jürgen Klopp has potentially made up his mind on the line-up for tonight’s Fifa Club World Cup encounter against Monterrey. 

Liverpool are set to kick off their adventure in the tournament on Wednesday at Khalifa International Stadium (19:30 CLT) against Monterrey.

Mirror reported that the German coach could make five changes in the line-up, who played Watford's encounter in the Premier League, as Andrew Robertson could start instead of James Milner in the left-wing, who will return to play in his position as a midfielder.

The other two alterations could be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who would start in place of Xherdan Shaqiri, and Divock Origi is expected to come in for Sadio Mane.

The Potential Line-up is as follows: 

Goalkeepers: Alisson
