Kostas Tsimikas is absent after breaking his collarbone against Arsenal, leading to Gomez coming in at left-back with Andy Robertson still out.

Young Quansah also rotates into the defence with Klopp looking for fresh legs among the busy festive period, with Ibrahima Konate dropping to the bench.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones also drop out as Elliott and Gravenberch come in, while Luis Diaz is only a substitute as Nunez is brought into the attack.

The Colombian winger came off in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal after a blow to his knee, which the player described to Klopp as being a "little pain" at the time.

The Liverpool boss said post-match: "The physios were not too concerned, but you never know and we play in three days, so we have to see."

Liverpool are without long-term absentees Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Ben Doak and Stefan Bajcetic as well as Alexis Mac Allister, but Diogo Jota is fit enough for the bench.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Gomez, Elliott, Endo, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez

Subs: Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Jones, Jota, Chambers, McConnell, Kelleher, Bradley

Injured: Tsimikas, Thiago, Bajcetic, Doak, Matip, Robertson, Mac Allister
