Liverpool
The imminent arrival of Gakpo comes at an ideal time for Liverpool, who are still without Arthur, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz for the long-term, while Roberto Firmino is also unlikely to recover from his calf injury just yet.
James Milner (hamstring) and Curtis Jones (shin) are also aiming for comebacks in Liverpool's meeting with Brentford on January 2, where Gakpo could supposedly be available if Liverpool can thrash out the details with PSV Eindhoven in time.
World Cup finalist Ibrahima Konate is now back in training for Liverpool and could be one of a couple of changes amid the packed festive schedule, with the fresh legs of Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho potentially also being utilised in the first XI.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Carvalho
Leicester City
Meanwhile, injury was added to insult for Leicester in their defeat to Newcastle, as Dennis Praet - who had just begun to force his way back into the fray - was caught in the back by the knee of Joelinton and had to come off after 17 minutes.
The severity of the Belgian's issue is unclear, but he is expected to sit this one out alongside Ryan Bertrand, Ricardo Pereira. James Justin, Jonny Evans and James Maddison, whose troublesome knee injury is causing him grief once again.
Praet's injury should benefit Ayoze Perez or Marc Albrighton's chances of a return to the starting lineup, while Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi could also benefit from some welcome rotation for the visitors.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Tielemans; Perez, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Vardy
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Leicester City
