Youri Tielemans and Boubakary Soumare returned from injury issues against United and could be handed starts on Saturday in place of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Nampalays Mendy. Elsewhere, Jonny Evans is the only major absentee for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

For Arsenal, Bukayo Saka will be fit to start despite a scare picked up against Villa. Jorginho will likely start alongside Granit Xhaka due to Thomas Partey’s injury, although the influential midfielder is in contention to make the matchday squad.
