Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Monday's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is sweating over the fitness of Alisson Becker and Ibrahima Konate ahead of Monday's Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.

Both players have missed a few training sessions this week for unexplained reasons, but there is optimism that the pair will be passed fit for the meeting with the Whites.

Luis Diaz will also make the squad for the first time since his serious knee injury, but Stefan Bajcetic (adductor), Calvin Ramsay (knee) and Naby Keita (muscle) are all sidelined.

Caoimhin Kelleher will be on standby if Alisson does not make it, but the Brazilian should be fine to take his rightful place in goal - the same goes for Konate alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Andrew Robertson has buried the hatchet with Constantine Hatzidakis after an alleged elbow from the official against Arsenal last weekend - the FA will take no further action against the linesman - and he will line up on the left with Trent Alexander-Arnold bombing down the opposite flank as ever.

Thiago Alcantara's return from a hip injury against Arsenal was a welcome sight, and the Spaniard should now be considered for a recall alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, demoting Curtis Jones to the bench in the process.

Mohamed Salah - who may be taken off penalty duties soon enough - and Cody Gakpo are untouchable in the final third, but Diogo Jota's chances of keeping Darwin Nunez at bay are slim.

Diaz will certainly not be expected to start at Elland Road, having not played a competitive fixture since October, while Roberto Firmino's equaliser against Arsenal is unlikely to earn him a rare start either.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
