Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he will not make significant changes for the EFL Cup trip to Burton on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30pm.
Defender Joel Matip and midfielders Marko Grujic and Emre Can are set to come in, providing the latter has no issues with a minor back complaint, while striker Divock Origi is in line for his first start of the season.
"You always have the chance in the next game to show improvement,' said Klopp.
"We will make changes but it is not likely that we will change seven, eight positions. Another game, important game. We have to show we can do better than Saturday.
"We have analysed Burton. I like the Championship, I like this league. It's a nice story over the last two, three years. They have an experienced manager with a clear style of play. They have played two systems in their last games. Of course, we respect the opponent."
