Jurgen Klopp will have an almost fully fit squad to choose from when Liverpool face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Tuesday night.
The Reds head into the European encounter unbeaten in the Premier League with a mammoth 25-point lead over nearest challengers Manchester City.
Atletico, on the other hand, are on a poor run of form which has yielded just one win in their last seven games across all competitions.
Diego Simeone’s men, LaLiga runners up in 2018/2019, currently lie fourth in the standings and 12 points adrift of the leaders Real Madrid.
Liverpool finished top of Group E, a point ahead of Napoli, after recording four wins from six matches.
Meanwhile, Atletico were forced to settle for second spot in Group D with Juventus finishing six points above them.
