Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should have a fully-fit squad at his disposal for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica at Anfield.

Midfielder Fabinho sustained a cut to his head during the 3-1 first-leg win at the Estadio da Luz which did not end up proving serious, and the Reds did not pick up any fresh injuries in the recent draw with Manchester City.

Ibrahima Konate went from hero to zero in the first leg with a goal before his error led to Darwin Nunez finding the back of the net, but he will hope to be considered for some minutes in place of Joel Matip.

Klopp may play it safe with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson in the full-back areas, although Kostas Tsimikas is pushing for an opportunity to fill in the for the latter.

With plenty of midfielders ready to freshen up the team amid the hectic Easter schedule, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita can feel hopeful of earning starts over Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara alongside Fabinho.

Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane have picked up two yellow cards in this season's tournament and are therefore at risk of suspension for the semi-finals, but all cautions will be wiped when the final four stage begins.

Klopp may elect to rest the duo either way after they both started the draw with Man City, with Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz aiming to join Mohamed Salah, who needs one more goal to become the Reds' highest Champions League goalscorer at Anfield.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Keita, Fabinho, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Diaz
