Liverpool will have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday evening when the Reds host Luton Town.
Mohamed Salah returned to action with a goal and assist in a 4-1 win over Brentford last weekend, and after Man City dropped points against Chelsea, Pep Guardiola's side can no longer overtake the Reds with their game in hand. The victory away to Brentford was tainted by some unwanted injury news – Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones all picked up knocks, with the latter two both confirmed to miss the Carabao Cup final on the weekend.
Next up for Jurgen Klopp's side is Luton Town at home, with the Hatters currently sitting in the relegation zone on goal difference. Liverpool were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Luton in the reverse fixture earlier this season, with the Reds hoping for a much better outcome this time round.
So, can Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table? Let's take a look.
To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that Liverpool could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz.
We predict that Luton could set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Kaminski; Mengi, Osho, Bell; Ogbene, Sambi Lokonga, Barkley, Doughty; Townsend, Clark; Morris.
Liverpool limited Luton to no shots and just 18% of the ball in the opening 20 minutes, but it was the visitors who almost went ahead when a corner into the box was cleared off the line by Andy Robertson.
