Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is one of four players Jurgen Klopp will make a late check on ahead of the visit of Sheffield United.

The Brazil international has missed three matches with a shoulder injury but has returned to light training and could potentially make a return ahead of schedule.

Record signing Rhian Brewster could make his full debut for Sheffield United against his former club.

The 20-year-old striker, who joined the Blades earlier this month in a deal that could be worth up to £23million, made his first appearance for Chris Wilder’s side as a second-half substitute in the draw with Fulham.

Max Lowe had to be withdrawn with a head injury in that game and the Blades are awaiting a doctor’s report before deciding if he travels to Merseyside. Meanwhile, after the 1-1 draw with the Cottagers, Wilder revealed that midfielder John Fleck will be out for up to six weeks with a back problem.

Liverpool provisional squad: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane, Kelleher, N Williams, R Williams, Milner, Shaqiri, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Origi.

Sheffield United provisional squad: Ramsdale, Foderingham, Baldock, Stevens, Basham, Lowe, Robinson, Bogle, Jagielka, Ampadu, Lundstram, Norwood, Berge, Osborn, McBurnie, Sharp, McGoldrick, Burke, Brewster.
