Liverpool
Liverpool do not have any players definitively ruled out of the second leg just yet, but Klopp has a trio of concerns in the forms of Thiago Alcantara, Roberto Firmino and Joel Matip to contend with.
However, there is serious optimism over the availability of all three players, with each member of the trio taking part in full training ahead of the contest.
Ibrahima Konate could hold his place in an unchanged backline if Matip is not deemed ready to start, and with Diogo Jota now back to full fitness, Klopp may elect to shake up his front line to ease the burden on Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Jota, Diaz
Inter
As for Inter Milan, Liverpool-linked midfielder Nicolo Barella is serving the second of a two-game European suspension this week, as Arturo Vidal or Roberto Gagliardini prepare to deputise for the Italy international.
Ivan Perisic was absent from the Salernitana win due to muscular overload, but Inzaghi is not exactly short of options on the left-hand side, with Matteo Darmian, Federico Dimarco and Robin Gosens battling for starts.
Aside from the enforced change in the middle as Barella sits on the naughty step, Inzaghi will surely consider no other changes to the winning formula from Friday, as Joaquin Correa and Alexis Sanchez continue to provide attacking impetus from the bench.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Vidal, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Gosens; Dzeko, Martinez
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Inter Milan
