Player(s) to watch:

• Declan Rice is coming in after scoring a sensational brace in the last match against the Cherries. It was a top performance by him, and he will be keen to put up another top show. He can regulate the ball well in the midfield and is capable of scoring goals. With the ball at his feet, the Englishman is going to be a constant threat for the visitors.
• Florian Wirtz was one of the goal scorers for the Reds in their draw against the Cottagers. He will be looking to step up yet again and help his side. It has not been the best season for Florian Wirtz, but his performances in the last three matches have been good enough.
