Liverpool gave debuts to £65million goalkeeper Alisson Becker and midfielder Naby Keita for their Premier League opener at home to West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp’s other two summer signings, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri, were on the bench. Joe Gomez was given the opportunity to start alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence, with centre-backs Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Dejan Lovren all unavailable.
West Ham fielded five new signings in their side with Lukasz Fabianski, Ryan Fredericks, Fabian Balbuena, Jack Wilshere and Felipe Anderson all making their debuts.
