RB Leipzig
Rose can empathise with Slot over fresh attacking concerns, as Leipzig lost top scorer Lois Openda to a knock in the closing stages of the Mainz victory, but the Belgian played down his issue after the game and insisted that he would be fine for Wednesday.
The same goes for Amadou Haidara, who also suffered an injury scare in the second half of the weekend's win, but Xaver Schlager (ACL), David Raum (ligament), Nicolas Seiwald (groin) and Assan Ouedraogo (knee) are all in the care of the doctors.
Assuming his knock does not flare up, Openda will form part of a menacing-looking front three alongside Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko, who has scored all three of Leipzig's goals in the Champions League so far.
RB Leipzig possible starting lineup:
Gulacsi; Orban, Klostermann, Lukeba; Geertruida, Haidara, Vermeeren, Nusa; Simons; Sesko, Openda
Liverpool
Liverpool's triumph over Chelsea came at a bit of a cost, as Diogo Jota lasted just half an hour before succumbing to the effects of a Tosin Adarabioyo challenge, and Slot would be surprised to see the Portugal international make the cut on Wednesday.
Alisson Becker (hamstring) and Harvey Elliott (foot) are also taking up places in the infirmary, while the luckless Federico Chiesa remains a doubt, and young right-back Conor Bradley was also missing from the matchday squad against Liverpool for unexplained reasons.
Bradley's omission almost put Slot in a right-back crisis, as the Dutchman revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold was also a doubt before the game, so Joe Gomez may earn an unexpected start in defence if the Liverpool boss protects Alexander-Arnold before the Arsenal affair.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Nunez
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-2 Liverpool
