Last-minute surprise, Klopp's possible line-up for the game against LASK

Liverpool will look to seal their place in the next round of the UEFA Europa League at Anfield as Luis Diaz's side host bottom side LASK Linz in the fifth round of Group E action. The Colombian, who came on as a second-half substitute against Manchester City in the Premier League, could now be in the starting line-up for Jürgen Klopp's side as they go in search of a UEFA Europa League home win.

After four rounds, Liverpool are top with 9 points, followed by Toulouse with 7 points, then Union Saint-Gilloise with 4 points, while LASK Linz close the group with 3 points. Luis Diaz has been the protagonist the previous weekend when he started the play with which Liverpool could get a draw against City, the Colombian has not seen the starting line-up in the last three games with his club and it was precisely in UEFA Europa League the last time that he was from the start by decision of Klopp, it happened in the defeat that they suffered at the hands of Toulouse.

In the current season Diaz has 15 appearances for Liverpool, has scored four goals and has one assist. Liverpool will be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota due to injury, as confirmed by Jürgen Klopp himself. Their most likely replacements in their positions should be Irish goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher and Colombian winger Luis Díaz: "Ali will probably also miss the Premier League games against Fulham and Sheffield United, while Jota will be a bit longer.

Possible line-up

Liverpool will be favourites for this fixture, having gone 17 official matches unbeaten at home, the last time they lost at Anfield was last February when they succumbed to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Possible line-ups. Liverpool: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Quansah, Gomez; Elliott, Endo, Gravenberch; Doak, Gakpo, Diaz.
