How Liverpool could line up against Leeds United

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has plenty to ponder when it comes to team selection for his side's trip to Leeds United in the Premier League on Monday night.

The Reds remain without long-term defensive absentees Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, but Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak kept a clean sheet against Real Madrid in midweek and have formed an effective partnership in recent weeks.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunning winner propelled Liverpool to all three points against Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League, and the right-back will once again go out with a point to prove amid his England troubles.

Georginio Wijnaldum has struggled to produce the goods in recent weeks, but Klopp is unlikely to consider dropping the Netherlands international, while Fabinho is nailed on in the engine room as Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones struggle with injuries.

The final spot in the midfield is up for grabs, as Thiago hopes to work his way back into the team alongside Naby Keita, but former Leeds man James Milner would suit a game of this intensity and could keep his place upon his return to Elland Road.

Diogo Jota was demoted to the bench by Roberto Firmino in midweek but is in contention to start here, while 19-goal Mohamed Salah will be out to become the first Liverpool player in history to score 20 goals in three separate Premier League campaigns.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Jota, Mane
