Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will select a starting XI for the Reds for the final time on Sunday. Anfield hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers with the Reds looking to break the 80-point barrier for the fourth time under their departing manager.

But win, draw or lose against Wolves, it is certain to be Klopp's day. Such is the success his team has enjoyed, they have played very few dead rubbers across his almost nine years in charge. Even though this match will be one, with the visitors also having nothing of note on the line, the boss will be picking a team to go out and win the game.

His final pre-match press conference understandably had an end-of-term feel, so he was not quizzed about the fitness status of the squad. Klopp did hint that Thiago Alcântara might be available to play for just the second time this season though and the Spaniard has since been spotted in training, along with Diogo Jota.

After paying tribute to his abilities and lamenting the injuries that have blighted Thiago's career, Klopp said: "He is in a good way, he looked really good yesterday and I'm sure he will want to give it a try again." While he obviously won't start the match, could the 33-year-old be granted a final Anfield cameo?

Either way, Thiago will leave the club this summer and another man for whom that is the case Joël Matip — remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from the ACL injury he suffered in December. Youngsters Bobby Clark and Ben Doak are also unable to take part against Wolves due to injuries, while it remains to be seen whether or not Jota will feature.

After missing the 3-3 draw at Aston Villa on Monday night, it is expected that Andy Robertson will return to duty though. Here Liverpool.com brings you the full list of players available to the manager as the Reds look to end the Klopp era in style with a handsome win against Wolves.
