Liverpool FC will play today in their usual 4-3-3 system. However, the Reds have new injury concerns to complain about after their clear away win at Brentford. In addition to Jones, Jota and Núñez, Salah, who already celebrated his comeback against the Bees, is also missing today due to injury. Gomez and Quansah replace Robertson and Konaté in the back four today, while Gravenberch replaces the injured Jones in midfield. The Reds’ three-man attack today consists of Díaz, Gakpo and Elliott. Even if LFC’s personnel concerns are currently extremely serious, a home win over Luton is firmly planned for today.

The visitors from Luton are expected again today in a 3-4-2-1 system. Despite the sporting misery in the last two games, coach Rob Edwards has decided not to make any personnel changes and is sending exactly the same team onto the pitch that recently suffered a narrow home defeat against Manchester United. The promoted team has already made life difficult for some top teams this season. They also usually lost very narrowly against teams like Manchester City, Tottenham or Arsenal FC. The first leg against the Reds should certainly give the current eighteenth place in the table additional encouragement.

The league leaders from Liverpool will give the starting signal for match day number 26 in the Premier League this Wednesday evening. With a one point lead over Manchester City and two points over Arsenal FC, Jürgen Klopp’s team faces a mandatory task today: they face the promoted team from Luton, who are currently in a relegation zone with 20 points to their name. Nevertheless, the Reds should not take today’s opponents lightly. It was only last November that LFC cut their teeth against the newly promoted team: the first leg at Kenilworth Road ended 1-1. Will Rob Edwards’ team be able to play spoilsport again today?
