Liverpool Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability: The Reds remain without their big-man Virgil Van Dijk, who is unlikely to return this season as he continues to recover from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament he suffered against Everton.
Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are also long-term absentees for Liverpool, which really sums up why the Reds are struggling so much this season.
Diogo Jota and Naby Keita both have returned to training but Klopp confirmed the duo is not fully-fit yet and will not be involved in the first leg.
Klopp could also miss the services of Fabinho, Ben Davies and James Milner. All three are down with knocks.
