Ahead of Alisson Becker in goal, we’ll be backing Jurgen Klopp to select Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate once more in the centre of the backline given Joel Matip has only recently returned from injury.
We anticipate only one change in midfield, with Harvey Elliott trusted to return to the starting-XI alongside Fabinho and Naby Keita.
