Liverpool prepare to face Manchester United in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday.
The fierce rivals go head-to-head with plenty on the line for both outfits.
The Reds have endured a lacklustre season for the most part and silverware is out of question. Yet Jurgen Klopp’s troops still have a chance of finishing in the Premier League top four.
After a 2-0 defeat of Wolves, Liverpool are within six points of the Champions League spots. To qualify for Europe’s elite club competition for a seventh successive campaign is the principal achievement.
However, the Reds face a United side who are rejuvenated since Erik ten Hag took the hot seat last summer. The Reds Devils not only have an outside chance in the title race but added the Carabao Cup to the Old Trafford trophy cabinet.
A highly-anticiapted clash is expected and here’s the latest on the Liverpool injury front.
1. Luis Diaz - knee
The winger is back in training and Klopp has confirmed he’s set to be involved in a match-day squad for the first time in six months. Potential return: Leeds (A), Monday 17 April.
2. Alisson Becker - knock
The keeper was forced to miss training earlier this week. Alisson was scheduled for an individual session on Friday, though, and he might have enough time to recover. Potential return: Leeds (A), Monday 17 April.
