Liverpool v Maribor – Probable lineups – Klopp missing three key names ahead of crucial clash

Liverpool take on Slovenian side Maribor in the UEFA Champions League tonight as they look to record back-to-back victories.

The Reds come into the clash in high spirits following their comfortable 3-0 win over Huddersfield on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp’s side also defeated Maribor by a 7-0 scoreline a fortnight ago in Slovenia.

Star midfielder Emre Can could return to Klopp’s starting eleven tonight after being dropped over the weekend.

The 23-year-old’s future at the Merseyside based club is still cast in doubt. Can has under nine months remaining on his contract with Liverpool and could end up leaving the club for free next summer.

Klopp is unlikely to field Philipe Coutinho tonight after the Brazil international picked up a minor injury. Meanwhile, Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana are both ruled out with injuries.
