WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?
Manuel Ugarte could return to the Reds’ line-up after a two-game absence, although Leny Yoro requires assessment after being withdrawn at half-time in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal. Ayden Heaven came on for the Frenchman and performed well.
Altay Bayindir, Amad, Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw have all been out due to injury.
Chido Obi is ineligible for this competition, but Patrick Dorgu can play, despite currently being suspended in domestic football.
Martin Zubimendi looks likely to return for the visitors after missing the first leg due to illness. The Euro 2024 winner was involved as a substitute in Sunday’s defeat to Sevilla, as Imanol Aguacil made eight changes to his starting XI.
Luka Sucic was absent due to a muscle injury, with Aritz Elustondo banned. Alvaro Odriozola, Jon Pacheco and Arsen Zakharyan continued their spells on the sidelines.
