Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is taking in the club's Under-23s fixture against Chelsea this evening, with Dejan Lovren turning out and bidding to take a further step towards a first team return.
Lovren was absent at the weekend as Liverpool edged out Burnley 2-1, Klopp picking a central defensive pairing of Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip.
He starts this evening at Tranmere's Prenton Park ground, in what is a Liverpool side containing several first team regulars.
Joe Gomez plays, as does young full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. Marko Grujic is handed a start, while Sheyi Ojo will also be looking to impress from the off against Chelsea.
Also taking in the fixture with Klopp is Liverpool's first team coach Pep Lijnders.
