Salzburg

Cican Stankovic has returned from injury after over a month on the sidelines and will replace Carlos in goal on Tuesday night.

Rasmus Kristensen will incur a one-match ban in the Champions League if he is booked against Liverpool.

Andre Ramalho and Jerome Onguene are in competition to start at centre-back alongside Maximilian Wober.

Erling Haaland could become only the second player in Champions League history to score in every group game if he nets against Liverpool.

Liverpool

Andrew Robertson will incur a one-match ban in the Champions League if he is booked on Tuesday but Jurgen Klopp cannot afford to rest the Scotland international here as Liverpool still need a result to qualify.

Jordan Henderson will continue to anchor the midfield in the absence of Fabinho, leaving Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner to battle for one place in midfield.

Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have all been rested at times over the last two matches but will all start in midweek.

Dejan Lovren suffered an injury at the weekend and is expected to miss out here, meaning Joe Gomez will start at centre-back.
