Liverpool are gearing up to face Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, and Jurgen Klopp is likely to be without three key players as they aim to solidify their position in the group.
In their pursuit of topping the Europa League group, the Reds are preparing to take on Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield, and Klopp is anticipated to implement significant changes to the starting lineup.
How Liverpool vs Tottenham rematch can actually happen: Explanation
Caoimhín Kelleher is expected to assume the role of the Europa League goalkeeper, while players like Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endō, and Kostas Tsimikas are hopeful of securing a spot in the starting lineup.
Despite an initial setback in their first match against LASK, Liverpool managed to emerge victorious.
Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota are facing suspensions and will not be available for Liverpool’s upcoming game against Brighton.
Therefore, it’s likely that they will feature in the Europa League match. Jones won’t be eligible for Premier League action until the visit to Luton Town on November 5.

With these two key players in the mix and a strong supporting cast, Liverpool should approach this match with confidence, particularly with the home advantage.
Given Union SG’s draw with Toulouse in their first match, Liverpool have an opportunity to establish themselves as the top-ranked team in the group.
Securing the top spot in the standings is crucial as it would mean avoiding the round of 32 after Christmas, ensuring a European journey in line with the norm for Champions League campaigns.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s presence in the press conference suggests he is likely to feature in the starting lineup, providing him with valuable minutes after recovering from injury.
Cody Gakpo, however, will not be available due to an injury sustained just before scoring the equalizer against Spurs and may face a period on the sidelines.
