Liverpool fans were cheering on Manchester United against Man City on Wednesday, but to no avail as their title rivals secured a significant three points.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won’t buckle just yet though, and are likely to play a full-strength side with five days until their Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona.
Huddersfield have lost their last seven games, and are guaranteed to finish bottom of the table.
The reverse fixture in October saw a solitary Mohamed Salah goal separate the sides in a 1-0 victory at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino
Huddersfield: Lossl, Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm, Kachunga, Bacuna, Pritchard, Lowe, Mooy, Grant

Prediction… Liverpool 4-0 Huddersfield
Liverpool will win tonight, and comfortably. Huddersfield have already been relegated, have lost their last seven games and haven’t won a point away from home since January 12.
The only question mark around the fixture is whether Jurgen Klopp opts to rest any players ahead of the Reds’ Champions League semi-final clash on Wednesday, especially given the title run-in is in Man City’s hands. Roberto Firmino was a substitute away at Porto last week - will Sadio Mane and Mo Salah also be rested today?
But, as has been the case all season, expect Klopp to name a full-strength side, and that fact alone should be enough for a convincing Liverpool victory. 4-0 - Liverpool back on top of the table by two points.
