Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they look to build some momentum after claiming a big win over Inter Milan in midweek.
The Reds beat their Italian counterparts in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with the victory at the San Siro boosting their hopes of clinching a top-eight spot once the league phase concludes in January.
In the Premier League, Liverpool’s hopes of retaining their title are all-but extinguished. They still have a battle to get into the top four and secure a spot back in next campaign’s Champions League.
Ahead of the game, manager Arne Slot said: "It's helpful in the upcoming weeks that we won't play as many games as we did until now.
"I wonder if there are more teams that have played three games in seven days this season. We had to do it three times already this season.
"I am almost happy we are out of the League Cup, because if we had to play with 13 outfield players available with any Premier League experience, and we had to go to Arsenal away on Tuesday after already so many games played, then maybe people can understand a bit better why I made that line-up against Crystal Palace.
"It wasn't good for me but I made that decision for the team. Losing a game of football is never a good idea, but sometimes players need rest as well."
