The Reds come into the fixture five points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who could only manage a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX on Saturday evening.
Arne Slot's team will, therefore, have the chance to open up an eight-point lead on the Gunners and still have a game in hand to play against Everton after the Merseyside derby was postponed.

Slot has made a big call in defence by recalling Ibrahima Konate who has been missing with a knee injury for the last six weeks.
He replaces Joe Gomez and is the only change to the starting XI from Liverpool's brilliant 5-0 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium a week ago.
