Klopp has a decision to make in central midfield.
Fabinho will return to the starting line-up after coming off the bench at half-time against Atletico. He will likely join Jordan Henderson in the engine room.
James Milner and Naby Keita both started in Spain but the latter was the man withdrawn for Fabinho.
Milner, meanwhile, may not be able to manage a third game in eight days aged 35.
