It's time for our Europa League predictions ahead of the fifth round of fixtures and we'll be giving our Liverpool vs LASK prediction. The last time these two teams met was back in September when Liverpool managed to avoid a big scare and upset by running out 3-1 victors. The Reds currently sit top of Group E, while LASK are rooted to the bottom on just three points, so it seems as though all signs point towards a home win.

Liverpool vs LASK Linz Team News & Injuries
Liverpool
Liverpool will welcome LASK to Anfield off the back of an impressive and hard-fought 1-1 draw away to title rivals Manchester City which will have fans and players buzzing heading into this must-win game. However, they will still be haunted by their shocking display last time out in the Europa League when they lost to Toulouse. There's a major injury concern for Jurgen Klopp as Alisson went down with a hamstring injury on Saturday afternoon.
Predicted Lineup: Kelleher (GK), Gomez, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Endo, Elliott, Diaz, Gakpo, Salah
LASK
LASK are also coming off the back of a solid result picking up three points at home to WSG Tirol leaving LASK five points behind RB Salzburg. The Austrian outfit find themselves just one point behind Union Saint-Gilloise, so any sort of result at Anfield would be a major boost for their hopes of staying in some form of European competition.
Predicted Lineup: Lawal (GK), Ziereis, Andrade, Talovyerov, Stojkovic, Ljubic, Horvath, Bello, Mustapha, Zulj, Usor
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
Liverpool
LASK Linz
Player to Watch: Harvey Elliott
Named on the bench against Manchester City, this is the competition where Harvey Elliott has to prove his worth to get more league minutes.
Played 90 minutes in every Europa League game so Klopp clearly sees him as a key part of their charge in this competition.
Elliott sits fourth in the Liverpool squad when it comes to expected assists, so he could take control on Thursday.
