Liverpool lineup vs. PSV: Predicted XI for final league phase fixture in the Champions League

Salah, Van Dijk to be afforded a rest? Liverpool predicted lineup vs. PSV

Arne Slot could be tempted to rest his big-hitters when Liverpool travel to the Netherlands to face PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Liverpool manager has the majority of his squad available to him on his return to his homeland, facing the club that pipped his Feyenoord side to the Eredivisie title last season.

There are just three players missing for the league phase leaders, with Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota struggling with injury.

Jones went off against Lille at half time last week, but Slot has confirmed it is nothing serious, suggesting he will be monitored again to see whether he could return for this clash, or the important Premier League encounter against Bournemouth at the weekend.

Gomez and Jota are not ready for a return, but should be back at some point next month, and for Slot's sake, he will hope that is during their chaotic run of games during the first two weeks of February.

Ahead of that trip to Bournemouth, Slot may be tempted to leave the likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold out here, but with the former seeking to extend his margin at the top of Liverpool's European scorers chart, he may want to play.

After Alisson's return from injury recently, opportunities for Caoimhin Kelleher have disappeared, so this may be a chance for the Irish stopper to get some minutes again.

Slot is able to rotate comfortably at full-back, as well as bringing in Jarell Quansah, while he also has many attacking options waiting in reserve, such as Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott, who scored the winner against Lille last midweek.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas; Endo, Szoboszlai, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
