Liverpool is missing its entire offensive "spine" with Salah at AFCON and Isak injured. Slot is expected to rotate heavily, starting unproven youngsters like Ngumoha and Nyoni. While Barnsley is a League One side, they are missing their captain and primary playmaker Luca Connell to suspension. Expect a low-tempo affair where Liverpool dominates possession but lacks clinical finishing, maintaining their trend of Under 3.5 goals at home.
