Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been handed a slight doubt with Diogo Jota ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

The Portuguese seemingly sustained a knock in the 3-3 Champions League second-leg draw with Benfica on Wednesday, where Klopp made rotations in abundance.

Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas were handed starts in the full-back areas, but the well-rested duo of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are sure to return here.

Ibrahima Konate's strong midweek showing could see him given the opportunity to partner Virgil van Dijk if Joel Matip is rested, with Alisson Becker expected to start in goal despite the presence of Caoimhin Kelleher.

Jordan Henderson was taken off after 58 minutes against Benfica and should therefore be fine to reprise his midfield role, with Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara displacing James Milner and Naby Keita.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane can also expect recalls to the first XI after coming off the bench in midweek, and Klopp is once again faced with the healthiest kind of selection dilemma up top.

Roberto Firmino's brace has given the Liverpool boss food for thought, but Luis Diaz came off just after the hour mark and will be raring to go on the left-hand side if Jota is not risked.

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