Arne Slot's squad will welcome their rivals to Anfield on Wednesday, following a 16-day hiatus since their Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle.

There is, however, a glaring problem for Slot to tackle at right-back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold (ankle) and Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez (both hamstring) sidelined due to injuries.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury during the 1-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on March 11 saw him sidelined for England's victories over Albania and Latvia.

The Reds are also without Tyler Morton.

David Moyes has his own fitness worries with left-back Vitalii Mykolenko sustaining a thigh injury during international duty with Ukraine.

Moyes spoke on March 19 about the recovery timeline of Dwight McNeil, Illiman Ndiaye and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, admitting, "I don't think we're necessarily going to have any of them back after the [international] break.

McNeil has been out of action since December following a knee issue sustained in a 4-0 triumph against Wolves, while Ndiaye is recovering from medial ligament damage endured during the much-anticipated derby.

Both players have since resumed training, but Calvert-Lewin remains sidelined with a thigh injury and midfielder Orel Mangala is ruled out due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
