Liverpool
Liverpool did not leave Molineux unscathed at the weekend, as Andy Robertson limped off following a heavy challenge from Carlos Forbs, although Slot does not think that the Scottish left-back is nursing a serious problem.
Slot also expects Darwin Nunez (illness) and Diogo Jota (foot) to be fine, but Federico Chiesa is a huge doubt with a fresh concern, while Harvey Elliott (foot) is a guaranteed absentee.
Fresh from scoring the winner from 12 yards at the weekend, another slice of history is at stake for Salah, who could become the first-ever Liverpool player to score in five successive Champions League/European Cup matches at Anfield.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
Bologna
As for Bologna, the red card issued to defender Jhon Lucumi in the weekend's draw with Atalanta does not affect his availability for Wednesday's game, but a check will need to be made on striker Santiago Castro after he was forced off last time out.
The Italian outfit are already coping without ACL victim Lewis Ferguson, as well as fellow midfielders Tommaso Pobega and Oussama El Azzouzi, both of whom are on the mend from knee issues.
Should Castro not make the cut, Thijs Dallinga - a summer arrival from Toulouse - will lead the line, but the Dutchman is still waiting for his first direct involvement after five games for his new club.
Bologna possible starting lineup:
Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Lykogiannis; Aebischer, Moro, Freuler; Orsolini, Dallinga, Ndoye
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Bologna
