Liverpool
Liverpool's long-term absentees Luis Diaz, Arthur, Joel Matip and Diogo Jota all remain out of contention, and Klopp has deemed it too soon for Naby Keita to return, despite the Guinea international's recent participation in full training.
Ibrahima Konate was back on the bench in midweek but may also need to build up minutes as a substitute first, while Jordan Henderson left the Johan Cruijff ArenA with a painful knock to the knee and will need assessing here.
Thiago Alcantara's return from an ear infection is timely if Henderson needs a weekend off to let the bruising go down, although it is still unclear if the Spaniard will be fit to start at the weekend, so Curtis Jones or James Milner could still be required in the middle.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Salah, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott; Firmino, Nunez
Leeds United
Meanwhile, Leeds have long-term injuries of their own to contend with in Stuart Dallas (thigh) and Adam Forshaw (ankle), while Tyler Adams, Archie Gray, Leo Hjelde, Luis Sinisterra, Joe Gelhardt, Rodrigo and Liam Cooper are all doubts for the contest.
Midfield regular Adams will aim to shake off that minor muscular knock to make himself available for the trip to Anfield, where Patrick Bamford and Rasmus Kristensen will both push for recalls to the first XI.
Summerville's late effort off the bench against Fulham may not be enough to earn him a starting berth this weekend, and Bamford certainly ought to return while concerns linger over Rodrigo and Sinisterra's fitness.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Struijk; Adams, Roca; Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra; Bamford
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Leeds United
