Liverpool manager Arne Slot:

"I feel I always have big decisions to make in every line-up I have to name, so if you look at our last game against City, I didn't play Darwin (Nunez), I didn't play Curtis (Jones), I didn't play Wataru (Endo), I didn't play Harvey Elliott.

"It's always big decisions you have to make as manager of Liverpool because we have so many quality players.

"I think I've been clear a few weeks ago on what my position is about our goalkeepers. We are just waiting for the moment Alisson is completely fit because Caoimhin is doing too well to put Alisson in goal if he's only at 50 per cent.

"That wouldn't be good for Alisson and it wouldn't be good for the team.

"He's getting there. It might take a few extra days, but he's getting closer and closer. Like I've always send, the end phase of rehab is always the period where you wonder if he is really there or if he needs a few extra days.

"But he will be in goal before the end of December if things continue like they are now."
