Sunday is Liverpool’s first visit to Luton in fifteen years, although many of their key players won’t be there.
The Reds, who have gained strong momentum after the international break, are hoping to win five straight games at Kenilworth Road.
When choosing his team, Jurgen Klopp must deal with a number of fitness concerns, including a combination of temporary and permanent absences.
Here’s a look at who is predicted to miss out on Sunday and who is in contention:
Curtis Jones has rejoined the domestic team after serving a three-game suspension; however, his availability is unknown as the midfielder did not show up for training on Friday.
Though the adolescent has resumed training after missing several weeks due to a muscle issue, Ben Doak is still doubtful.
Luis Diaz has been training with the team this week in anticipation of Luton, but it’s unclear if he will play because of his continuing family crisis in Colombia.
Stefan Bajcetic and Conor Bradley are still sidelined due to ongoing back and calf issues, respectively.
Thiago, who hasn’t played for the Reds since April due to a hip injury, is also anticipated to be sidelined until after Christmas.
After suffering a dislocated shoulder while playing for Scotland last month, Andy Robertson is still not available.
Liverpool’s roster for the match against Luton
Goalkeepers: Pitaluga, Adrian, Alisson, Kelleher, and Jaros
Van Dijk, Konate, Matip, Gomez, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Chambers, and Scanlon are the defenders.
