The strongest squad under Juergen Klopp will face off in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Even if the forwards are ruled out, there are still appealing options for the coach, and that is the big difference between this squad and others since he took charge.
The starting XI of the team is no longer predictable because of the goalkeeping position being apart. The Reds were threadbare last season because of injuries.
The improved squad depth will be shown on Sunday when the teams play at Wembley.
Jota and Firmino will be covered and there is also competition for places in the starting line-up.
England centre-back Joe Gomez and Japan forward Takumi Minamino have not even made it onto the bench for recent games as they were blessed with an almost fully-fit squad.
We have a good squad if they are all fit.
It never happened that they were all fit. We have a different situation now. I have not seen a situation like this before. We have never had the entire squad available.
The injuries to Jota and Firmino have reduced the attacking options, but they are still able to select an intimidating front three after signing Luis Diaz.
Minamino, Divock Origi, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Mohamed Salah are some of the other alternatives.
Rob Green, a former England goalkeeper, and Carlton Cole, an ex-Premier League player, both described the squad as unbelievable.
When the Reds traveled to the San Siro for the first leg of their last-16 tie against Inter Milan, they had a number of players on the bench, including captain Jordan Henderson.
Despite being at the Africa Cup of Nations, the Reds went five games without a loss in January and reached this weekend's final.
Minamino, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones stepped up during that period, making important contributions as the season gained steam.
If not quite challenge Alisson as his first-choice keeper just yet, the promising young Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, has impressed in the cups, allowing Klopp to rest him. When Andy Robertson was injured, Greece left-back Kostas Tsimikas filled in impressively.
clever recruitment has taken the Reds close to their goal of having a bench like Manchester City.
The strength in depth may have been the problem in the past.
Manchester City's strength has always been their squad, they have so many options. The level of play is now reached byLiverpool.
This is the strongest squad he has ever had. They have a squad that can challenge on all fronts.
The squad improvement is largely due to continued shrewd business in the transfer market.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Henderson and Firmino have all improved, but the new additions have gone to another level.
The signings of big names like Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Jota have continued the strong recruitment by the club.
Where once they were ridiculed for their transfer committee, now they rarely miss the target with their buys. The club's sporting director, Michael Edwards, will leave this summer.
Ian Kennedy said that one of the arts of great management is the ability to buy a player and have him look as though he has been playing for you for a long time.
lopp has done it again with Luis. He likes to tackle and has been full of great running.
Jota is another example of a player brought in by Klopp and was able to make an immediate impact, just like the other players.
Green said thatDiaz came into the team as though he had been there the whole time.
In his first season in the premier league, the winger has already assisted and scored in two games.
Jota, who was previously unheralded at Wolves, is currently the league's second-highest scorer with 12 goals in 23 appearances.
The club has the ability to plan for the future.
Academy graduates Alexander-Arnold and Jones are now established as first-team players, with the right-back arguably one of the most important players.
The 18-year-old, who was signed from Cottagers in the summer, has already started at the San Siro this season and continues to impress in the premier league after recovering from a serious ankle injury in September.
In August, Jordan said, the world-class Thiago made two 90-minute appearances in a midfield three, ahead of the more experienced Elliott, demonstrating the faith the manager has in his ability.
Mario Gotze was the last teenage German to be rated so highly. The best players in the league trust him. It is not a good idea to keep it quiet, butElliott has the potential to be the very own Phil Foden.
