The visitors will be playing without Smith Rowe, Tomiyasu, Balgun, Aubameyang, and Xhaka. Elneny, Pepe, and Partey are helping their national teams at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Liverpool will have to play without their most important players, as those who haven't got injured or tested positive for covid, travelled to Cameroon to play at the Africa Cups of Nations.
