Joel Matip is likely to be recalled to the starting XI for the trip to the Midlands after Ibrahima Konate picked up a hamstring issue in the match against the Seagulls.

In midfield, Klopp has a number of options available to him with skipper Jordan Henderson and Fabinho well rested, and with the possibility of Harvey Elliott moving back from the left wing position he has occupied of late.

Klopp must also decide whether the time is now right to bring Darwin Nunez back into the starting XI after two substitute appearances following his minor injury. The Uruguayan could start on the left if Cody Gakpo continues in a false nine role.
