Team news

Klopp has a near full-strength squad to choose from on Friday night. While Mo Salah was absent while attending awards in New York, his players looked in good spirits as they trained on Wednesday.

Among them was Joe Gomez, the young defender who has missed a huge chunk of the season with injury. He could be in line for a start after coming off the bench in the past two games.

The Liverpool boss may also be tempted to give first-team regulars a rest ahead of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona next week with the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge as well as Gomez vying for a start.

Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert is without Abdelhamid Sabiri, Adama Diakhaby and Laurent Depoitre.
