The pair missed the weekend draw with Chelsea due to injury, but both could be back in action at the Bet365 Stadium.
Jürgen Klopp told his pre-match press conference: “Dejan probably will be close. It is not a big thing; it’s a little bit of little bit of swelling and we have to figure out what it is exactly. He will try to run in a few minutes, I spoke to him a second ago.
“Emre is back, it was not a big thing but it was big enough that he could not play the last game. He is back and it is a full squad, for sure.”
Klopp made five changes for the visit of Chelsea to Anfield on Saturday, including a decision to start with both Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane on the bench.
The boss hinted he is set to restore the duo to the starting line-up at Stoke, though insisted any such changes shouldn’t be read as a desire to ‘rest’ players – more utilising the depth of his squad.
“I think that makes most sense,” said Klopp. “We don’t ‘rest’, we use other players. That indicates there’s a rest for another player, but that is especially not the reason for this game.
“For the last one, maybe we thought against Chelsea maybe he needs a rest or whatever – [but] it was that we needed fresh legs against Chelsea and that’s what we wanted to have. I thought it worked quite well.
“It was a very important sign for the squad and from my side that I show the faith in all of the boys. It was very important for me that the boys showed me they are 100 per cent ready, so that was good – really good. Probably we will make one or two changes from the last game to the next game, then maybe not for the next game - we will see how we deal with that.
“It all depends on the impression I can get during the games and during the session, then we make decisions.”
