Liverpool travel to south Wales to face Cardiff City on Sunday as we bid to retain our place at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds eased to a 4-1 victory at FC Porto on Wednesday to qualify for the Champions League last four, where we will face Barcelona. But Jurgen Klopp and co. will need to quickly shift their focus to the league and beat Cardiff to stay in the hunt for our first ever Premier League title.
Cardiff are fighting against relegation, so we just cannot afford to take them lightly knowing that they’ll come hard at us from the first blow of the whistle.
Adam Lallana has recovered but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be a part of the travelling squad.
Dejan Lovren missed the game at Porto due to an unknown problem. The game at Cardiff will be too early for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Alisson is our first-choice goalkeeper and should be in goal against Cardiff.
Arnold had a solid outing in the 4-1 victory over Porto. He is a certain starter on Sunday.
With Lovren likely to miss out again, Matip is expected to keep his place in central defence.
A rock at the back, Van Dijk is one of the first names on Klopp’s team sheet.
The Scotsman is our first-choice at left-back. He will start against Cardiff on Sunday.
Fabinho has made a telling impact in his debut season at Anfield. The Brazilian’s defensive qualities make him perfect to shield our back four.
Henderson has lately found himself in an advanced role and he has lived up to the faith of our gaffer. He should start against the Bluebirds.
Wijnaldum’s form seems to have dipped a bit in recent weeks but he remains a crucial member of our team. The Dutchman could be preferred ahead of Milner in midfield.
Salah seems to have regained his mojo at the most crucial period of the season. The Egyptian will be raring to make a mark on Sunday as well.
Firmino came as a substitute and scored in the 4-1 win against Porto. He is expected to be recalled into the starting XI.
