Regardless though, Liverpool will want to return to better form before the end of the season, having won just one of its last five league games.

If the Reds are to get back to winning ways, it looks as though they’ll have to do it without Virgil van Dijk.

Normally, I'm a big advocate for Dominik Szoboszlai, but it makes more sense to give Elliott a go here given the pair's recent form.

Like with Elliott and Szoboszlai, I'd normally go for Núñez but Gakpo is in the better form at the moment.

The Uruguayan can come off the bench.

My starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk (Gomez), Robertson; Elliott, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Díaz

Predicted scoreline: 2-1 to Liverpool.

One thing to watch:Mohamed Salah to score.

James Findlater - Darwin Núñez returns

All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah.

Again, he hasn’t been in the best of form recently, but if you’re selecting the strongest Liverpool side, then he makes it.

Then again, Virgil van Dijk looks as though he’ll be missing, so this won’t be Klopp’s strongest team.

Ryan Gravenberch hasn’t done too badly when called upon recently, so he can retain his place.

My starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Quansah, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Núñez, Díaz

Predicted scoreline: 2-1 to Liverpool.

One thing to watch: Mohamed Salah to get back to scoring ways.
