After edging past West Ham in thrilling fashion last Monday night, Liverpool know that they are just a few games away from potentially being crowned champions of England.
The Reds suffered major scare when the Hammers took the lead in the second-half, but Jurgen Klopp’s side responded well, and secured a 3-2 comeback win in the end.
The Liverpool boss will be intent that his players don’t show any signs of complacency or slacking off, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see him select a very strong line-up – even despite the FA Cup fifth round clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Below is a look at what the starting eleven could be for the Merseyside outfit on Saturday.
The one big change that Klopp could potentially make to his back-line, is the introduction of Joel Matip from the start.
The Cameroon international had been an impressive performer for the Reds before his injury, and still ranks highest amongst his teammates for interceptions per game in the top-flight with 1.5. And standing at 6 foot 5, he will surely be best suited to dealing with someone like Troy Deeney.
In midfield, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could come in for Naby Keita following the former RB Leipzig man’s disappointing display against West Ham – as per Sofascore, he was dribbled past three times, and didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
