The Reds worked out in front of the cameras at the Aon Training Complex before the boss spoke to the media in the afternoon.
Some clues were naturally garnered from the session with Daniel James's absence one of the talking points, while there were also several positives.
The good news is Jesse Lingard and Diogo Dalot were back with the squad and could be options for the boss to consider as he is likely to shuffle his pack, with another game to come on Sunday, away to West Ham United in the Premier League.
Youngsters such as Axel Tuanzebe, Angel Gomes, James Garner, Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood may also be in the frame while youth-teamer Charlie Wellens was also working with the senior players.
