Jurgen Klopp's previously injury-ravaged Liverpool squad could be about to look a lot healthier, with long-term absentees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez in line for returns immediately after the international break.
The latter started the season in tremendous form, coming from seemingly nowhere to establish himself as one of the league's leading centre-backs alongside Virgil van Dijk, but hasn't featured in 2019 after suffering from a broken leg in December.
With Dejan Lovren also suffering from fitness issues, Joel Matip has offered a capable alternative in his absence, but a previously stellar defensive line has shown some frailties here and there - notably conceding three goals at home to Crystal Palace and two to Burnley, though recorded wins on both occasions.
