Arne Slot looks for his first trophy as Liverpool manager but must do so without Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The club hope he will be able to play against before the Premier League champions-elect end their campaign - otherwise, he may well have played his final game for the Reds, with a summer switch to Real Madrid seeming increasingly likely.

At Wembley, with he, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez all absent, Slot has a choice to make.



After their Champions League disappointment on Tuesday, Diogo Jota could be yanked from the starting lineup and the England international installed into midfield to bolster numbers in there against a strong Newcastle trio(

And he says: "Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn't think about it, in my first season as captain to lift a trophy for this club for the first time in a long, long time.

It would be massive."

He scored the winner at West Ham on Monday night and Eddie Howe could pick an unchanged starting lineup, with Anthony Gordon still suspended and both Sven Botman and Lewis Hall sidelined due to injury.

That will be a late decision made by Howe.

Liverpool Starting Lineup: Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Djik, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz.
