The 12:30 GMT kick-off presents an opportunity for the Reds to not only bounce back from successive Premier League defeats but apply some pressure to Aston Villa and Tottenham, who meet on Sunday at 13:00 GMT.
Ten Hag admitted in Friday's press conference that Harry Maguire and Ramus Hojlund were still unavailable but Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford would be fit to make the squad, and both start.
The Reds are unchanged from the derby defeat to Manchester City but there could be a lot of fluidity going forward. Skipper Bruno Fernandes is an option to start on the right but there are a number of possible permutations in attack.
