Everyone is excited about the potential debut of Cody Gakpo, but he is only likely to start from the bench if the Premier League registers him in time.

The Reds have quite a few injury troubles, as Harvey Elliott and Andy Robertson both picked up knocks in the last game. Arthur, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota are still out – with Fabinho and James Milner also doubtful.
