Virgil Van Dijk will play no part in this game and could miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury following a horror tackle by Jordan Pickford at Everton on Saturday..
Thiago Alcantara is also a doubt with a knee injury picked up via an equally bad challenge which saw Richarlison sent off.
And Liverpool’s defensive woes could get even worse with Joel Matip undergoing a scan for a muscle injury.

Should the Cameroon star not recover, Fabinho is likely to slot in next to Joe Gomez as a makeshift centre-half.
This match will also come too soon for goalkeeper Alisson, who is out for at least another week.
To make matters worse for Jurgen Klopp’s men, Ajax have a clean bill of health.
