Sports Mole looks at how Liverpool could line up in Sunday's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be able to select both Alisson Becker and Fabinho for Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.

As late as Friday evening, both Alisson and Fabinho were banned due to FIFA-imposed suspensions, but the Reds will now be able select the Brazilian pair for the match against Marcelo Bielsa's side after FIFA cleared the players to compete.

Roberto Firmino, though, will definitely miss out though injury, while the match will come too soon for James Milner, Takumi Minamino and Neco Williams.

Harvey Elliott has been declared fit, though, with the issue that forced him to withdraw from England Under-21s duty not serious, and the youngster could retain his spot in the starting side this weekend.

Thiago Alcantara had been in line to feature in midfield if Fabinho was not cleared to play, while Alisson's absence would have allowed Caoimhin Kelleher to play between the sticks.

There are not expected to be any surprises in the forward areas, though, as Firmino's absence will allow Diogo Jota to start alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah as part of a front three.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk is fit despite suffering a scare on international duty, and the Netherlands international should again be joined in the heart of the defence by Joel Matip.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Elliott; Mane, Jota, Salah
