Liverpool will be looking to re-establish a three-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table, with the Blues otherwise engaged in the EFL Cup final this weekend.
However, the Reds have struggled to put teams away of late, with Tuesday’s Champions League clash versus Bayern Munich producing a third draw in four outings.
Following the Bayern game, Jurgen Klopp commented: “Our problem was on one hand the quality of the opponent and on the other hand our last pass was not our friend.
“We had 10 or 12 situations where everything was prepared, everything was on a plate and then we played a very average last pass or gave it away.”
This has all the makings of a similarly tense tussle, so a 1-1 stalemate is the likely outcome here.
