- Jurgen Klopp still has a lenghty injury list to contend with ahead of the Capital One Cup final meeting with Manchester City, with Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Martin Skrtel, Adam Lallana, Brad Smith and Joe Allen all sidelined here.
- Jordan Rossiter and Dejan Lovren will be assessed closer to kick off, though Klopp could resist the temptation to throw them straight back into action.
- Steven Caulker is ineligible for the Reds having played in the competition earlier in the season for Southampton.
- All in all, Klopp could deploy the same starting XI as the one used from Thursday's 1-0 win over Augsburg, meaning Lucas Leiva would start at centre-back alongside Mamadou Sakho.
- Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly set to stick with Willy Caballero in goal despite his poor performance against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
- The City boss is without injured trio Samir Nasri, Fabian Delph and Kevin De Bruyne, but Jesus Navas and Wilfried Bony have returned to training and could be available.
- Fernando and Fernandinho are expected to anchor the midfield here, with Yaya Toure set to feature behind striker Sergio Aguero.
- Elsewhere, Pellegrini has the choice of Gael Clichy and Alesandar Kolarov at left-back, with the former likely to start.
