Liverpool visit Luton for the first time in 15 years on Sunday and will be without several senior players.The Reds are looking for a fifth straight win at Kenilworth Road after building momentum following the international break.
Jurgen Klopp has faced a number of fitness issues, including short- and long-term absences, during his squad selection.
Here is a look at who is in contention and who is expected to miss out on Sunday:
Curtis Jones (unknown) – doubt
Ben Doak (muscle) – doubt
Luis Diaz (personal) – doubt
Conor Bradley (back) – unavailable
Stefan Bajcetic (calf) – unavailable
Thiago (hip) – unavailable
Andy Robertson (shoulder) – unavailable
Curtis Jones has returned to the domestic fold following his three-game suspension, but the midfielder was absent from training on Friday, making his availability uncertain.
Ben Doak is also a doubt, but the teenager has returned to training following the muscle problem that has kept him out of action in recent weeks.
Luis Diaz has trained with the squad this week in preparation for Luton, but his ongoing family situation in Colombia means it is unclear whether he will be involved.
Conor Bradley and Stefan Bajcetic remain unavailable as they continue to nurse back and calf problems respectively.
The Reds are also expected to be without Thiago until after Christmas as he continues his recovery from the hip problem that has kept him out since April.
Andy Robertson remains absent following the dislocated shoulder he sustained on international duty with Scotland last month.
