Liverpool comfortably brushed aside Watford midweek with a 5-0 demolition of Javi Gracia’s men. Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk scored braces with Divock Origi also finding the net in a rare start.
The Reds could start the derby in second place with Manchester City playing Bournemouth on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be without Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Dejan Lovren for the game on Sunday.
Roberto Firmino faces a race against time to be available for the trip across Stanley Park as he faces a late fitness test.
If the Brazilian star does not manage to be passed fit for the game on Sunday, he is likely to see his place taken by Shaqiri or Origi in the team.
