This time next week Liverpool fans may not be able to sit still with excitement.

The club face Sevilla in the Europa League final, and before that encounter, the home support on Merseyside gets to wish their heroes all the best tonight.

Jurgen Klopp’s side play their final home game of the season against Chelsea and the German, conscious of next week’s encounter in Basel, has named an interesting starting XI.

Klopp has named what is as close as possible to his strongest starting team for the clash at Anfield, as he looks to maintain momentum ahead of next week’s European final.

His opposite number Guus Hiddink has gone with a strong looking XI, as the Blues look to end a miserable league campaign with one more away win.

The game will also see Liverpool wear the new home kit for the 2016/17 season as well.
