Ahead of Liverpool’s league match against Tottenham, some early potential news about the Liverpool squad has emerged, with key players spotted on a pre-match walk in London.
The Reds head into the first leg of the semi-final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night, looking to repeat their 6-3 win there last month.
Liverpool’s head coach continues to work on a busy three-competition schedule and this game presents Arne Slott with an opportunity to make a change.
However, the arrival of Accrington Stanley in Saturday’s FA Cup third round match will give Slott more opportunities to shuffle the pack and rest some of their favorite players.
The Reds went for a walk in London.

There are certainly signs that Liverpool could field a strong line-up at Spurs, with pictures of the Reds enjoying a walk around London on Wednesday.
Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenbirch are all away, with the trio not starting any Carabao Cup games so far.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was also in attendance and was keen to see how he would perform if he started alongside fellow full-back Andy Robertson.
Alexis Mac Allister, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo also made the trip, bringing the total to 10 celebrities.
It remains to be seen which starting lineup will be selected on Wednesday night, but this suggests it will likely be stronger than many expected.
As mentioned above, there is no doubt that there will be a number of young players playing against Accrington, so there is no need to rest any of the big players for this game.
This is an important game in its own right, and Slott will no doubt be desperate to reach a cup final in his first season at Liverpool.
A win for Spurs would give them a fantastic chance to play in the showcase event against either Arsenal or Newcastle at Wembley on March 16th.
