What is the team news?
James Maddison is set to be fit for the game despite tweaking his ankle against Arsenal.
But Brennan Johnson is likely to miss the game after seemingly pulling his hamstring and hobbling off against the Gunners.
It means Richarlison and Manor Solomon are pushing for starts, with Ivan Perisic also ruled out injured with an ACL problem.
As for Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold could return to the fold after training in midweek following his hamstring injury.
Thiago is still recovering after having hip surgery at the end of the 2022/23 season.
And Klopp will have to choose between Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo to lead his line.

Welcome to Tottenham vs Liverpool
Spurs drew with Arsenal last weekend as they put in a brilliant performance at the Emirates to fight back from a goal down on two occasions.
Tottenham will be hoping they can finish back in the top four spots this season and look a revitalised side under Ange Postecoglou.
The advantage is certainly with Liverpool, who are unbeaten in their last TWELVE against Spurs.
Nine of those have been wins.
And Tottenham's last victory against Liverpool came in October 2017 – six years ago
The question is, can they end their awful run of form this time round?
