Team News

Dejan Lovren is a doubt for the match Anfield with the Croatian suffering from concussion.

His potential absence creates something of a defensive headache for Klopp, who is already without Joe Gomez, who is sidelined with a broken ankle.

Elsewhere, Nathanial Clyne (knock), Dominic Solanke (groin strain) and Alex Oxlade-Chamblerain (ACL) are definitely out.

Sadio Mane, who returned from a foot injury to come off the bench against Bournemouth, is expected to return to the starting XI.
