Liverpool will hope to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, cꦆurrently on 57 points from 25 matches, will ho🔯st relegation-battling Luton Town at Anfield.

Liverpool are currently in the midst of an injury crisis and Klop🍰p will need to navigate his charges through this tricky encounter ahead of the Car🍬abao Cup final.

Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota have been 🌃after picking up injuries against Brentford last time out.

Meanwhile, the game comes too soon for fellow Reds stars Alisson Becker, Trent Alexan♕der-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai.

In midfield, Klopp seems likely to opt for Rya✃n Gravenberch, who looks like he’s heading in the right direction at Anfield.

The Liverpool boss could be gesticulating at the 21-ღyear-old during the game against Arsenal due to his poor pressing before the Gunners’ opener.

Ryan Gravenberch much improved in Liverpool win over Brentford

Graveꩲnberch was then an unused substitute against Burnley before replacing the injured Jones in the first half of the game against Brentford.

The🌟 Dutch﷽man looked much improved, suggesting he has fully taken whatever Klopp has said to him after the Arsenal loss on board.

As per , Gravenberch won the most duels of any Liverpool player (six), won🌺 two out of his three attempted tackles, completed two out of his three attempted dribbles and completed 82 per cent of his passes (31/38).

Gravenberch is an ‘amazing‘ talent, and while it hasn’t been completely smooth sai🌄ling at Liverpool, he has shown he can deliver impressive displays and has the tools to become a star in the future.

The Luton game is a g🐻reat opportunity for him to show what he can do amid this latest injury crisis. Hopefully he starts and delivers another solid display.
