Arkadiusz Milik could miss out through injury but Lorenzo Insigne is set to return after recovering from an injury problem. Dries Mertens should get the nod over Fernando Llorente for the central stiker berth and should be supported by Insigne, Hirving Lozano and Fabian Ruiz should Ancelotti go for the 4-2-3-1 system. In case of 4-3-3, Josè Callejon in likely to retain his berth as right winger. In midfield, Allan and Elif Elmas are in contention for a spot alongside Piotr Zielinski. In defense, Nikola Maksimovic could be replaced by Manolas as centre back. Mario Rui is favourite over Faouzi Ghoulam for the left-back position.
Divock Origi limped off during the match against the Magpies. Aside from that, Klopp has nearly a full squad to select from, as only goalkeeper Alisson, midfielder Naby Keita and full back Nathaniel Clyne are sidelined. The German manager is likely to keep faith in most of his starting XI. Trent Alexander-Arnold could be replaced by Joe Gomez at right-back while Jordan Hernderson should be flanked by Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum in the middle of the park. No changes are expected up front where the likes of Mo Salah, Sadio Manè and Roberto Firmino will lead the line.
Liverpool (4-3-3): Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane.
