Liverpool will be looking to record three successive Premier League wins for the first time since September when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield on Wednesday night.
The champions have bounced back to winning ways with successive 3-1 triumphs away to Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United and will be looking to keep the pressure on Manchester City ahead of the leaders' visit to Anfield on Sunday.
However, Jurgen Klopp's side lost their last home outing - a first Premier League home defeat in 69 games - and face a Brighton side in good form off the back of beating Spurs at the weekend.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: February 3 (vs. Brighton)
Sadio Mane missed out against West Ham due to a muscle issue he picked up against Spurs. Klopp insisted that it is "nothing too serious", but the quick turnaround in fixtures makes him a major doubt for this game, and Klopp is unlikely to take any risks over his fitness with Man City to come at the weekend.

Type of injury: Hamstring

Klopp revealed that his touchline exchange with James Milner after the midfielder's withdrawal against West Ham was in part due to concerns over a stiff hamstring. However, the decision to take him off was precautionary and Milner is expected to be available for this match.

Naby Keita has been out since December 19 despite Klopp insisting that his latest injury setback was not a serious one. Last week, Klopp confirmed that Keita was "closer, but not close enough" for the West Ham game, and so he remains a major doubt for the visit of Brighton.
