How Liverpool could line up against Luton Town

Liverpool could potentially welcome back Luis Diaz for Sunday's Premier League clash with Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

The Colombia international has sat out the Reds' last two matches following the kidnapping of his parents in his homeland, and his father remains missing nearly a week later, although he has been training recently and will be allowed to decide whether he is in the right frame of mind to play.

In addition, all of Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Andrew Robertson (shoulder) are out of contention for the time being, while Ben Doak remains a slight doubt with his muscular concern.

A second-string XI unsurprisingly took to the field in Wednesday's EFL Cup clash with Bournemouth, and backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher will now hand the gloves back over to Alisson Becker.

Kostas Tsimikas is the only member of the rearguard who should retain his place, as all of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are primed to return to the backline.

A raft of midfield changes will also see Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister return to their rightful positions, while Dominik Szoboszlai started further forward against the Cherries but should now revert to his engine room role once more.

Both Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo made the net ripple on the South Coast, but the latter's contribution may not be enough to keep his Uruguayan teammate at bay, while Diogo Jota is another candidate to join Mohamed Salah in the frontline.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Jota
