Liverpool can bolster their Champions League qualification hopes when they face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.
Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United means that the Reds can move up to fifth in the Premier League table. In addition, third-placed Manchester United and fourth-placed Aston Villa meet earlier in the afternoon, so one of them will drop points.
But Liverpool will have to improve after their 1-0 defeat by Galatasaray in the Champions League last 16 first leg. And with the Turkish side visiting Merseyside for the return clash on Wednesday, it gives Arne Slot a conundrum when it comes to his starting line-up.
Ahead of the clash against Spurs, who are just one point above the relegation zone, here’s a look at how Liverpool could line-up.
GK - Giorgi Mamarashvili
There is hope that Alisson Becker might be back fit after his minor issue. But Mamardashvili was excellent against Galatasaray and Liverpool may not feel the need to rush Alisson back between the posts.
RB - Jeremie Frimpong
Liverpool will hope that the Netherlands international's pace can give them more of an attacking threat.
CB - Ibrahima Konate
Was really poor against Galatasaray but that was his first bad game in a while. Otherwise been solid in recent weeks.
CB - Virgil van Dijk
Must ensure that his team-mates are not complacent and play with the needed energy and creativity.
LB - Andy Robertson
Was the hero at Wolves in the FA Cup and perhaps was unlucky to have been benched at Galatasaray.
CM - Ryan Gravenberch
Was well off the pace against Galatasaray but should be more suited to this sort of game.
CM - Dominik Szoboszlai
Had a rare off day in Turkey. That is something he is entitled to but the rest of his team-mates' performances could not make up for Szoboszlai's shortfalls.
RW - Mo Salah
The Egyptian is in dire form but a lack of options down the right-hand side mean he's likely to continue.
AM - Florian Wirtz
Missed two big chances against Galatasaray and faded, but he is just back from injury and should improve.
LW - Rio Ngumoha
It feels like the perfect fixture to hand the 17-year-old his full Liverpool debut. It certainly would give the crowd a boost.
ST - Cody Gakpo
Didn't do too badly after coming off the bench at Galatasaray and was involved in Liverpool's first two goals at Wolves in the FA Cup when operating centrally. Hugo Ekitike could do with being saved for the Champions League second leg.
