The England international has missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury but has recently stepped up his return. Still, it seems unlikely such a key player will be risked.

Pep Lijnders said on Tuesday: “Trent trained yesterday with us but it was just in the rondo and the ball possession with the counter-pressing, but he was outstanding. You see him instantly, of course. He is with the team training, I am not sure if he will be ready, we will see today.
On Thiago, the assistant coach said: “He is in a good way, the healing process is going well so that’s the most important [thing] at this moment.”
Klopp should name a team similar to the one he fielded against LASK in the Europa League. As such, the likes of Stefan Bajcetic, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah and Ben Doak could also start.
Summer signings Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo should get another opportunity from the off with Premier League minutes currently restricted.
