| - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made five changes for Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against RB Leipzig in Budapest, overhauling the team that lost in the Premier League last Sunday. Back to the starting lineup come Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sadio Mane and Fabinho, who all came off the bench in Liverpool's 0-1 loss to Fulham at the weekend, as well as Ozan Kabak and Thiago Alcantara, who did not appear in the defeat that left the Reds eighth in the table. Leipzig playmaker and Swedish international Emil Forsberg, who had been sidelined with a knee injury, returns to Julian Nagelsmann's side, along with captain Marcel Sabitzer who has recovered from a calf problem. Spanish winger Angelino, a star performer for Leipzig this season, misses Wednesday's game with injury.
