Arne Slot will address the press today as he previews Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United at Wembley. An update on the fitness of Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be high up on the agenda.
Liverpool suffered its biggest blow of the season on Tuesday as Paris Saint-Germain won a penalty shoot-out at Anfield to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Slot’s men. There is no time to dwell on that, though, with the team having the chance to win the first trophy of the season this weekend.
Cody Gakpo returned from injury against PSG and didn’t look sharp. He could return to the starting XI if he is ready while there is also a decision to be made in goal between Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher.
The rest of the team should pick itself with Jarell Quansah filling it at right-back. The likes of Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez are likely to come off the bench.
