Liverpool team news
Liverpool will be without Alexis Mac Allister through suspension after the Argentinian was shown his fifth yellow card of the league campaign at Newcastle. Slot has confirmed that Alisson Becker is still not fit to return in goal, while Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are edging closer to returns. The latter played an hour for the u-21 side on Wednesday night.
Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas are all facing longer periods on the sidelines.
“[The midfield line] is not our main worry at the moment, our main worry is if you look at how close they are all back of [having] playing time, there’s only three injuries left and that’s in our last line,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference.
“With Diogo being close to being back, Federico being close to being back, and the same for Alisson. Ibou [Konate], Conor [Bradley] and Kostas [Tsimikas] are a bit further away from playing time.”
