Liverpool are likely to have a similar squad available for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 in midweek.

The Reds will continue to be without Joe Gomez (muscle), Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Luis Diaz (knee) for the Premier League contest at Anfield as they target back-to-back wins.

"We had little [knocks] – should be [the same]," Klopp said of his squad's availability during his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"The last message I got, it's now early [and] I didn't see them this morning – a lot of things can happen overnight – but yesterday evening they were all fine apart from the players who are out; Thiago and Luis Diaz. Joe obviously I think is closer, but not close enough."

Jordan Henderson could make the 400th start of his Liverpool career, while Virgil van Dijk is in line for a 150th Premier League appearance since joining the club.

Inside Training: Man Utd prep, shooting challenge and more on Friday

For United, long-term absentees Christian Eriksen (ankle) and Donny van de Beek (knee) remain sidelined and Anthony Martial is still out due to a hip complaint.

Erik ten Hag's visitors do, however, look set to welcome Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho back to the fold after the pair missed out against West Ham United in the Emirates FA Cup in midweek.

"I think we will have players back," Ten Hag told reporters. "Yesterday Luke Shaw was not available, so we expect him back.

"Sancho was ill, but we will have to wait and see how that develops but I think [he could be available] as well."
