After a 3-0 victory over Brighton in the FA Cup, the Reds are back in the Premier League and Slot has restored more of his first-choice starters.
Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and the returning Ekitike make up the attacking trio, supported by Wirtz as No. 10.
Both Calvin Ramsay and Trey Nyoni are also in the squad despite starting in a 3-0 win over Forest’s U21s on Friday night.
So too is Kieran Morrison, after the 19-year-old winger scored a free-kick and direct from a corner in that victory along with an assist.
