We host Swansea on Sunday on the back of our 2-1 home win against Bordeaux on Thursday.
After Klopp's press conference it's pretty likely Sturridge will once again miss out, and that Hendo could play some part in the game.
I'm pretty sure Skrtel, Can, Coutinho and Lallana will come back for this one. Replacing Toure, Allen, Ibe and Benteke respectively.
Although Firmino didn't have the best game last night, I think it would be a shame to break up the combination of Coutinho-Lallana-Firmino. Benteke is a great option off the bench and should play at some point on Sunday.
Lucas is suspended after picking up his 5th booking of the season against Man City.
I would go with this side, either in a 4-3-2-1, 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Mignolet
Clyne
Skrtel
Lovren
Moreno
Milner (c)
Allen
Emre Can
Coutinho
Lallana
Firmino
Subs: Bogdan; Randall, Toure; Henderson; Ibe, Teixeira; Benteke
Hendo on for Allen towards the end, be great to see him back.
The Opposition:
Swansea are currently sitting 14th in the table and pressure is mounting on manager Gary Monk.
They are likely to line up with a 4-2-3-1 formation, this is the line up from their 2-2 at home to Bournemouth last weekend:
Fabianski
Naughton
Bartley
Williams (c)
Taylor
Britton
Ki
Routledge
Shelvey
Ayew
Eder
Subs: Tremmel; Rangel, Fernandez; Cork; Montero, Sigurdsson; Gomis.
As you can see, they do have options and I'm sure Monk will make a few changes, Sigurdsson and Gomis are big threats, and Shelvey always seems to have a crazy game against us.
Overall I think we have more than enough to beat them at home, we have options on the bench and the lads will be up for it after our 4-1 hammering of Man City last time out.
2-0 to us, Lallana and Benteke with the goals.
* Depending on how the teams around us do, a win for us could lift us up to 6th place, just 3 points of 3rd.
YNWA!!
