Arne Slot will face the media at 11:00 GMT (06:00 ET) on Friday to preview the game and will likely be asked about transfers and the Champions League.

As Slot speaks to the press, at the same time at Uefa’s Nyom headquarters, the draw for the Champions League play-offs will be taking place.

Liverpool isn’t involved in that, but will have one eye on the pairings with Paris Saint-Germain or Benfica set to play Monaco or Brest.

Then one of the two winners will go on to play Liverpool in the last-16 (yes, it’s a bit confusing).

As for transfers, expect the same answers from Slot regarding incomings, but there could be news on outgoings as the Liverpool boss confirmed after Wednesday’s loss in Netherlands that discussions would take place before the weekend regarding the futures of several youngsters, including Jayden Danns and James McConnell.

One player who won’t be departing is Federico Chiesa, after he confirmed his plans to stay at Anfield despite recent rumours.

When it comes to speculation, few can top Mohamed Salah in the gossip columns and, on Thursday, Saudi Arabia’s sports minister declared his hope that the Egyptian completes a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

He has released a statement following the end of his time in charge of Al-Ettifaq.

We’ll keep you abreast of all those stories, the latest from Slot’s press conference and the Champions League draw, plus all the latest transfer news concerning Liverpool and its rivals.
