The Liverpool team lineup for the match included Diogo Jota, Jarell Quansah, Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, and Harvey Elliott, with Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones out, in addition to Salah. Former Liverpool defender Carragher commented that Liverpool’s demanding schedule has led Klopp to rest his players. He did question the timing of the decision as Liverpool needed a win to stay in Premier League title contention.
