Liverpool will have to make late checks on two senior players ahead of their FA Cup third round tie against Accrington Stanley.

Dominik Szoboszlai missed Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Tottenham due to illness and that was the reason for Jarell Quansah's early substitution.

As a result, both are slight doubts for the game at Anfield meanwhile Joe Gomez is the only certain absentee following the hamstring injury he suffered against West Ham last month.

Liverpool do have a huge Premier League game away at high-flying Nottingham Forest next Tuesday so that may have an impact on Arne Slot's team selection.

Conor Bradley made his first start after injury at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and could get the nod over Trent Alexander-Arnold again, whilst captain Virgil van Dijk is due a rest and Wataru Endo is an option at centre-back if Quansah isn't fit to feature

Ryan Gravenberch is also in line to sit this one out as Slot might turn to youngster Trey Nyoni in midfield alongside Harvey Elliott but Tyler Morton is a doubt after rolling his ankle ahead of the Spurs game.

Darwin Nunez will miss Liverpool’s next Premier League match through suspension, so he could lead the line against Accrington Stanley with Federico Chiesa handed a rare start in place of a rested Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool predicted XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Endo, Robertson; Jones, Nyoni; Chiesa, Elliott, Jota; Nunez

Doubts: Szoboszlai, Quansah, Morton
