Respected Sky Sports journalist Melissa Reddy has revealed which two players out of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are expected to stay at Anfield.
It has been a promising start to life under Arne Slot for Liverpool, having only lost one match across all competitions since the Dutchman took over from legendary Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
Liverpool currently sit top in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

However, fans have been left concerns over the futures of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah.
Last month, talisman Salah stated that he was 'more out than in' after not receiving an offer.
However, David Ornstein claimed on Sunday evening that all three players have now been offered new deals by the club.
On Monday afternoon, Reddy spoke about the trio and stated that the anticipation is that both Van Dijk and Salah will stay at Anfield.
She said: "My information has been quite consistent in that talks remain ongoing. They’re positive and respectful. Liverpool want to do right by the players and by the club themselves.
"It’s been quite evident that Salah and Van Dijk really want to stay. They’ve made that clear, they’ve verbalised that, and possibly on their side there’s been a bit of frustration that it’s taken so long to reach an agreement, but the anticipation is that both players will remain at the club."
Reddy continued: "The situation with Alexander-Arnold is slightly different because he has Real Madrid hugely interested in him, and some of his recent comments about winning the Ballon d’Or are very much singing from that Real Madrid hymn sheet.
"He’s possibly the one that would take the most elbow grease in Liverpool getting over the line, and also the one who has the biggest alternative option.
"All three would be able to speak to overseas clubs from 1 January. The feeling, the sense I get from Salah and Virgil is that they have no intention to do that."
Liverpool will be back in action on Tuesday night when they take on Spanish La Liga side Girona in the Champions League.
