Team news
Klopp has confirmed that starlet Harvey Elliott will be in the squad for the game, and he could be in line for some minutes, after being out of action through injury since September.
Silky midfielders Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara will also be welcomed back from AFCON and injury respectively, although Thiago may not be ready for minutes just yet.
Star men Mo Salah and Sadio Mane do battle later in the day at 7pm in the AFCON final, so are both unavailable for selection – a proper super Sunday for Liverpool fans.
The Bluebirds are missing Harry Arter due to a calf injury. With Sol Bamba, Callum Paterson and Matthew Connolly all out until next season. Neil Warnock is likely to play the same team as Tuesday night.

- Liverpool 1/10
