The Dane has impressed in the Reds’ midfield this season, registering four goals and three assists in 11 appearances, but missed out on Ruud van Nistelrooy’s debut match as interim head coach - Wednesday’s 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round - due to injury.
Eriksen played 79 minutes in our last top-flight fixture, at West Ham, but was substituted for Joshua Zirkzee after picking up a knock.
Academy pair Jack Fletcher and Jayce Fitzgerald filled in as midfield options on the bench in midweek, but van Nistelrooy is hopeful he can have our no.
