There is good news for the Reds as goalkeeper Alisson Becker and centre-back Ibrahima Konate are fit enough to start. Both missed a couple of days training in the build-up to the clash but are fine to keep their respective spots. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson make up the back line.

Curtis Jones keeps his berth in midfield despite Thiago Alcantara returning from a two-month absence off the bench against Arsenal. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are also in the engine room.

Roberto Firmino came on to rescue Liverpool a point in the draw with the Gunners through a fine header. But Klopp has stuck with an attacking three of Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are handed a huge boost as Luis Diaz returns to the bench for the first time in six months. The Reds have been cautious with the winger during his comeback from a serious knee injury. But after building up his fitness in the past couple of weeks in training, Diaz is now deemed ready to featured among the substitutes.
