The Reds were beaten by Crystal Palace last weekend, and this was followed by a Champions League loss at Galatasaray.

Hugo Ekitike was substituted against the Turkish champions with a possible knock to his knee, but he has returned to training. Ekitike could come off the bench if required.

While Ekitike has returned to training, goalkeeper Alisson has been ruled out for the next eight matches with a hamstring issue. The Brazilian picked up a similar injury last campaign and he has suffered another setback ahead of a tough set of fixtures.
