Speaking ahead of the match, Arne Slot said that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez will miss out, while they’ll have to check the fitness of Conor Bradley and Alisson, who missed the Everton game with a concussion.

Curtis Jones could continue at right-back, while Jarell Quansah is another option. Diogo Jota should have done enough to keep his place at striker after a great goal in the derby in midweek.

Marco Silva could deploy the same back five that he used against Arsenal in a bid to contain the Reds, with Issa Diop, Joachim Andersen and Jorge Cuenca as centre-backs. Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic will continue at central midfield, with Raul Jimenez likely leading the line.
