Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield on Thursday night with just one point and one place separating the top-four hopefuls in the Premier League table.
The champions finally returned to winning ways following a four-game losing streak with victory over Sheffield United on Sunday, welcoming both James Milner and Naby Keita back from injury in the process.
However, they remain on a four-game losing run at home - only the second time that has ever happened in their history - and face a Chelsea side still unbeaten in nine outings under new manager Thomas Tuchel.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's showdown.
