The final of the 2019 Club World Cup pits the European champions against the kings of South America as Liverpool face Flamengo at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.
Liverpool needed a late winner from substitute Roberto Firmino to overcome Mexican outfit Monterrey in the semi-final on Wednesday night, with Flamengo coming from behind to beat Al-Hilal a day earlier.
Neither side have won this trophy before, but both go into the contest in fine form and having dominated both domestically and continentally over the course of the year.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how Jurgen Klopp could line his Liverpool side up for the contest.
Out: Joel Matip (knee), Dejan Lovren (thigh), Fabinho (ankle), Nathaniel Clyne (knee)
Doubtful: Georginio Wijnaldum (muscle), Virgil van Dijk (illness)

Virgil van Dijk missed the semi-final win over Monterrey due to illness and will not be risked for this match unless he is 100%, although the fact that it is an illness rather than an injury is positive news for Liverpool.
Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Fabinho all stayed at home to nurse their injuries, meaning that Jordan Henderson was forced to fill in as an emergency centre-back on Wednesday, although Sepp van den Berg is one of three youngsters to have flown out ahead of the final just in case Van Dijk does not recover.
Klopp took the opportunity to rest Firmino, Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold from the start in midweek and we could learn a lot about how important this trophy is to him by his team selection on Saturday.
All three could come into the starting XI, but it is unlikely to be a full-strength team with Andrew Robertson and potentially Mohamed Salah among those in line for a rest, although there will be a public demand for the latter to start given his appeal in Qatar.
Klopp could switch back to a 4-2-3-1 formation with Henderson in a more familiar midfield role and Naby Keita starting again, having broken the deadlock in midweek against Monterrey.
Georginio Wijnaldum remains a doubt with the muscle problem which forced him off against Watford, although the fact that he was part of the travelling party suggests that Liverpool are hopeful he could feature.
