But, Knutsen should be expected to field his strongest eleven for this huge clash against table toppers Arsenal.
Elsewhere, Mikel Arteta would have been relieved to escape the Liverpool clash with no fresh injury concerns, especially for Gabriel Jesus who took a firm forearm to the head.
However, the Arsenal boss is still likely to be without midfield maestro Emile Smith Rowe and talented full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko.
