Jota provided the assist but he was then stretchered off in the 44th minute, with Mo Salah coming on in his place in what's his first outing since recovering from a hamstring problem.

Jurgen Klopp’s side already have injury issues, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker missing the game after picking up a suspected hamstring injury in training. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak are all currently sidelined.

Klopp will provide an update on Jones and Jota at full-time.
