Team news
Roberto Firmino likely remains out for the hosts, meaning Diogo Jota will continue in the front three.
It wouldn’t be a shock if Andrew Robertson is rotated, whilst Virgil van Dijk and Mane will return to the side after midweek breathers.
Edouard’s impressive debut could earn him a start ahead of the former Liverpool man Christian Benteke.
The remainder of the XI will likely be the side that eased past Tottenham last weekend.
