Liverpool host FC Midtjylland in the Champions League later this week and the Premier League side will be looking to pick up a comfortable win at home.
The Reds managed to win their group opener against Ajax and they will be confident of a good result here.
The away side lost their last Champions League game 4-0 against Atalanta and they will be up against one of the top European teams in Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp will want his team to secure their place in the next round of the competition as soon as possible so that he can begin to rotate the squad.
The Reds will be motivated to pick up a win here.
The home side are likely to be without Keita, Matip and Thiago who are still recovering from their individual knocks.
Meanwhile, Alisson has returned from his shoulder injury and he helped Liverpool secure a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at the weekend.
Liverpool will be firm favourites to win here and the Danish side will have to play out of their skin to secure an upset here.

Since yesterday I saw plenty of Midtjylland games. The 4-0 [against Atalanta] was not like this type of game. In my break, I was interested to go there for a while just to see what they do, but I signed for Liverpool so I couldn’t. Even five years ago it was interesting.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool Manager
We cannot deny we will miss Virgil [van Dijk]. Fabinho is a great player. We don’t need to change the way we play but we will miss him, he’s one of the best in the world.
