Liverpool XI vs Leeds:Team News Possible Lineup

Injury boost as Liverpool expect Thiago Alcantara to back in action later in the day against Leeds United.

Former Barcelona and Bayern munich midfielder Thiago missed the loss at Nottingham Forest due to an ear infection,

which has since passed, though fellow midfielder Jordan Henderson may miss the game.

The Reds captain came off with a knee injury in the 3-0 Champions League win at Ajax on Wednesday.

Klopp:

“With Hendo we have to wait a little bit, it’s a knock, knee was a bit stiff [on Thursday], he had only treatment.

“So we will see how he will be. I expect him to be OK to be honest.”

 

Both Fabinho and Harvey Elliott can deputise for Henderson, while Curtis Jones and James Milner are pushing to start.

Klopp made sure to praise Darwin Nunez, who scored against Ajax in midweek for the fourth goal of a busy October.

“The steps he’s making are really big, and that means automatically he settles in more and more.

The potential is incredible, and it’s not only speed – the attitude is really good, he’s a real worker.”

Long-term absentees Luis Diaz, Arthur, Joel Matip and Diogo Jota all remain out of contention.

Predicted Liverpool XI:

Alisson;

Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson;

Fabinho, Thiago, Jones;

Salah, Firmino, Nunez
