The Reds do battle with the Blues for the second year running in the showpiece event, hoping to avenge last term's narrow 2-1 defeat.
The squad could be boosted by the potential return of three players - Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount and Anthony Martial - but centre-back Harry Maguire will be absent for the big 15:00 BST kick-off.
There is more training to come at Carrington before the Reds head south but Ten Hag was in a positive mood when speaking to the media in his pre-final press conference.
"Harry Maguire is unavailable but the rest, all the players you mentioned [Lindelof, Mount and Martial], they are - I think - available," declared Erik.
