Team News
Liverpool
Luckless Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita returned from injury in time to start against Brighton but lasted just 19 minutes of that draw before being taken off with a hamstring issue.

The Guinea international is sure to miss out here alongside James Milner and Harvey Elliott, and it remains to be seen if Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara will be cleared to start as Klopp continues to cope with an injury crisis in midfield.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could therefore start alongside Henderson and Curtis Jones this week, while Jota will hope to displace Roberto Firmino at the tip of the attack.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Jota, Mane

Atletico Madrid
Atletico striker Griezmann joins Stefan Savic on the naughty step for this fixture, although Wednesday's game marks the latter's final game of a lengthy European ban.

2020 Anfield hero Llorente is unlikely to be passed fit for this encounter, while Thomas Lemar has been ruled out by Simeone and Geoffrey Kondogbia remains sidelined due to concussion.

Felipe ought to join Jose Gimenez and Hermoso in the back three if Kondogbia cannot feature as an emergency centre-back, while Angel Correa, Felix and Luis Suarez should all feature up top in Griezmann's absence.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Felipe, Gimenez, Hermoso; Trippier, De Paul, Koke, Carrasco; Felix, Suarez, Correa

Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid
