Alisson Becker is set to make his Liverpool home debut as a starter in tonight's friendly meeting with Torino at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp is expected to make several changes to the team that thrashed Napoli 5-0 in Dublin on Saturday - with a similar starting XI likely to face West Ham United in the Reds' Premier League opener this weekend.

However, that rotation will not extend to the man between the sticks, with Alisson in line for more crucial minutes as Liverpool contest their final pre-season fixture of the summer.

The Brazilian enjoyed a steady start to his Liverpool career against Napoli, despite the fixture coming just six days after he joined up with his new teammates as they headed to France for a five-day training camp.

And another solid showing this evening will see the world's most expensive goalkeeper will cement a starting place for the visit of the Hammers on Sunday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will also hope to make a case for his inclusion after missing the start of pre-season due to the World Cup, with Nathaniel Clyne currently the favourite to start right-back this weekend .
