Although in truth, Liverpool's fate has long been known.

Under Arne Slot the Reds have been superb in the new-look competition and have seven wins from seven so far.

Heads down for the least important game of Liverpool's season - which isn't something you often get to say in the Champions League.

But with the Reds already in the last 16 and guaranteed a top-two finish in the first stage, Arne Slot has left most of his big-hitters at home for the clash at PSV Eindhoven.

What, then, is the Liverpool boss to do with all the fringe players he has taken to Holland?

In goal, it's Caoimhin Kelleher

Conor Bradley can go right-back, with Kostas Tsimikas on the left

Centre-backs are Jarell Quansah and, helping out once again, Wataru Endo.

In midfield, James McConnell and Tyler Morton can be the defensive duo with Harvey Elliott at number 10.

And up top, it's a rare start for Federico Chiesa on the right, with Darwin Nunez down the middle and returning hero Cody Gakpo on the left.

Had Arne Slot named a stronger squad for the trip to PSV Eindhoven, it would arguably have been a tougher challenge selecting Liverpool’s would-be starting XI.

But with a plethora of academy stars making up numbers in the absence of 12 first teamers, it should be relatively straightforward from the Dutchman.

Andy Robertson captains the side from left-back.

Wataru Endo can make up the back four rather than Amara Nallo being handed a debut, meaning Tyler Morton and Trey Nyoni start in midfield - with the latter just edging out James McConnell.

Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez is back to lead the line and Cody Gakpo keeps his place on the left as he gets to face off against his former club - with Jayden Danns on standby to come on in attack as Slot still looks to manage legs carefully.
