Liverpool midfielder Thiago missed the defeat to Leicester on Tuesday after picking up a knock. The Spaniard has not yet returned to full training and is a minor doubt ahead of the clash against Chelsea on Sunday.

Takumi Minamino is in the same situation, with the Japanese international having to sit out the Leicester game midweek with a minor muscular problem.

Divock Origi remains out of contention with a knee injury. The striker has been sidelined since the 2-1 win over AC Milan earlier this month and no date has been given for his return to action.

Adrian has a calf strain so Marcelo Pitaluga will continue to be the club’s third-choice keeper behind Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher.

Nathaniel Phillips is still recovering from a fractured cheekbone that he sustained in the victory in Milan, while Harvey Elliott continues to make progress as he steps up his comeback from a dislocated ankle.
