Liverpool
Midfielder Fabinho could be available to feature following his head injury last week. The Brazilian was substituted off moments after entering the field of play against Cardiff on Sunday but has returned to training this week. It seems unlikely that Klopp will start him however, with a Champions League semi-final against Barcelona around the corner in just a few days time.
Dejan Lovren has recovered from an illness that kept him out of Liverpool's trip to Cardiff and could make a start, while fit-again Joe Gomez looks set to receive some vital first-team minutes as he looks to play a part in the run-in.
Adam Lallana and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both doubts, with the former having missed the Reds' last five outings as a result of a muscular issue.

Huddersfield
English midfielder Jonathan Hogg will be assessed before the game after limping off against Watford last weekend but should be fit to play a part for the Premier League's bottom club. Adama Diakhaby and Karlan Grant, who has netted four league goals since his January arrival, have been in full training and will be fit for the trip to Anfield.
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer is injured and will not be involved, as confirmed by manager Jan Siewert.

Managers' Thoughts
Klopp refutes rotation speculation and insists Liverpool will have no regrets
When asked if the squad will be heavily rotated with Barcelona in mind, Klopp replied: "No chance. We had enough time to recover after the last game, we have enough time to recover for the next game. Barcelona has nothing to do with the game on Friday night".
The German also suggested that he will be proud of his squad even if they do eventually come up short in the heavyweight title race: "We don’t have to summarise the season; if we do it, we will do it, if not there are no regrets as long as we always give our best. I saw that all season from the boys, but still, the season, however it ends up, is only the first step in that area".

Siewert acknowledges size of tasking facing Huddersfield and puts pressure on Liverpool
"The big pressure is on Liverpool. They won’t underestimate us. We go there excited and will enjoy a big game at Anfield", asserted Huddersfield manager Jan Siewert.
“We should not be silly. Everyone knows their quality but we want to show our possibilities.This will be a very tough game and we will need experience", the 36 year-old, whose side have lost all but one of their last 13 games, added.
