Despite a range of different injuries on both sides, Liverpool are slightly worse off, as they’ll remain without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Joel Matip.
After a tough test against Manchester City last weekend, Klopp will hope to avoid changing the starting XI too much. Mohamed Salah may not have started a game for Liverpool since New Year’s Day but Reds fans are hopeful he will be fit to return to the starting lineup after coming on as a substitute last weekend.
