Liverpool are preparing for Jurgen Klopp's penultimate game in charge with almost a full squad available.

The recent 4-2 victory over Tottenham showed their potential, and they are now eyeing a triumphant end to Klopp's final campaign at Anfield as they prepare to face Aston Villa on Monday night.

Despite their Premier League title challenge fading in recent weeks, Liverpool remains determined to give Klopp a fitting farewell after his successful stint on Merseyside.

The return of Stefan Bajcetic from injury during the win over Spurs has bolstered Liverpool's defensive options, while Virgil van Dijk's successful fitness test ensures his availability for the upcoming clash against Villa.

Upfront, Diogo Jota's absence from team training last week raises concerns, and Klopp is expected to provide updates on the forward's status during Friday's pre-match press conference.

Injury-wise, Liverpool's defensive line will miss Joel Matip, midfield maestro Thiago Alcantara, and young talent Ben Doak.

However, the majority of the squad is fit and ready to contribute to Klopp's final push before his departure.
