The Brazilian centre-back picked up an injury in the recent win over Crystal Palace and he was absent against Manchester City.

In his absence, Levi Colwill and Axel Disasi formed a fine partnership. Disasi was handed the man of the match for a sublime display.

The fans would ideally want the duo to continue at the back, but we won't be surprised if Silva is picked in the starting line-up on Sunday.

Speaking in today's press conference, Pochettino said that Silva will be assessed and there is a possibility that he could be involved.

Liverpool are without several key players with injuries including Alisson Becker , Trent Alexander Arnold, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota .

Despite this, they are deemed favourites to win the Carabao Cup and it would be a statement if Chelsea can get the better of them at Wembley.
