Liverpool will carefully judge Joel Matip's readiness for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, while the visitors intend to give Anthony Martial every chance of featuring at Anfield.
Matip has been sidelined since sustaining an adductor injury during the Reds’ 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion on December 27.
But the centre-back is in training ahead of the Premier League encounter, and Jürgen Klopp stated at his pre-match press conference that a decision will then be taken on his involvement.
“Joel is close,” said the manager on Friday. “Does it now make sense to throw him into a game with one or two sessions, which he didn’t do yet, but today and tomorrow he might be involved?
