Europa League final team news: As expected for Liverpool – Henderson & Origi on bench

Posted by
Divock Origi

Jurgen Klopp has sprung no surprises in his team selection for tonight’s Europa League final.

Eleven changes are made from Sunday’s 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion as those players who sat out our Premier League finale return for the showdown with reigning champions Sevilla in Basel.

Jordan Henderson and Divock Origi are on the bench after recently returning from injuries. Both got 25 crucial minutes under their belts as substitutes against the Baggies and may be called upon again.

Daniel Sturridge starts up front, and Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana line up in an exciting attacking-midfield trident which we hope can cause the Sevilla defence a host of problems.

The Spaniards, back-to-back Europa League winners, have Kevin Gameiro leading their line. The Frenchman is enjoying an excellent season, having scored 28 goals including seven in this competition.

Yevhen Konoplyanka, a former Liverpool target as the Daily Mail reports, is only on the bench for Sevilla, whose strength is probably the central midfield partnership of Grzegorz Krychowiak and Steven N’Zonzi.
