Jurgen Klopp's side are the overwhelming favourites to clinch the high-voltage clash as they are enjoying a much better run of form than their opponents.
Furthermore, Erik ten Hag is missing the services of several players including former captain Harry Maguire due to an injury and current skipper Bruno Fernandes, who picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Bournemouth last week. Scott McTominay has been nominated to don the captain's armband in the crucial clash.
