# Liverpool fans aren’t happy Henderson is at centre-back against RB Leipzig

A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting to the Reds’ starting lineup to face RB Leipzig this evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s side return to Champions League action, making the trip to Budapest to play the Bundesliga giants.

The Puskas Arena hosts the game because it can’t be played in Germany, due to the current virus affecting the world.

Klopp has [named](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1361748466968518656?s=20) his starting XI for the match, as Liverpool aim to avoid a fourth successive defeat, in all competitions.

Alisson unsurprisingly keeps his place in goal, despite a below-par couple of games, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ozan Kabak, Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson making up the back-line.

In midfield, Gini Wijnaldum is joined by Thiago and Curtis Jones, with Fabinho and James Milner both out injured.

The usual front-three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino also get the nod, which comes as no great shock.

These Liverpool fans have been reacting to the lineup on Twitter, providing their thoughts on it.

> Why is Henderson at the back again ?? Wijnaldum looks tired and hasn’t played well for ages – play Phillips
