Liverpool
Liverpool manager Klopp has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be ready to feature in this crunch clash, with the right-back joining Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara on the sidelines.
James Milner should therefore continue at right-back for the time being, while Curtis Jones has put in some impressive displays in the middle of the park and ought to earn a start against the champions, even with Naby Keita's return to fitness.
The only real dilemma for Klopp is whether to start Diogo Jota or Firmino at the tip of the attack, and even though the Portuguese has held his place so far, the Brazilian may be preferred for a tie of this magnitude.

Manchester City
Meanwhile, City boss Guardiola does not expect Ilkay Gundogan to return to action before the international break, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is a major doubt but would not be likely to force his way in over Cancelo anyway.
Aymeric Laporte was given the nod for both the Chelsea win and the defeat to PSG, but John Stones is yet to feature this season and may not be thrown straight into an Anfield encounter.
Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus both seem set to return to the first XI here, with Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling making way after a disappointing evening in Paris.
