Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is likely to be involved after a suspected hamstring injury was diagnosed as muscular fatigue.
Alexis Mac Allister, Diogo Jota and Andrew Roberton are all set to return at some point in the new year.
Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny is close to recovering from a hamstring problem but Jorginho remains a doubt.
Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira all remain long-term absentees.
