On the back of an exhilarating final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Liverpool return to their Anfield base for a Premier League date with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot's men dropped two points in the most gut-wrenching circumstances on Wednesday evening, as James Tarkowski's astonishing 98th-minute leveller rescued a 2-2 draw for Everton before bedlam broke loose.
Nevertheless, the Reds now find themselves seven points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal in the Premier League table on the same number of games and should have fewer concerns about a possible surge from the Gunners given their attacking crisis.
In contrast, Liverpool have a near clean bill of health, and here, Sports Mole rounds up the Reds' latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Wolves, who are hovering perilously close to danger in 17th position.

Slot revealed on Friday that Cody Gakpo had to be substituted in the draw with Everton due to a knock, and the Dutchman's availability for the weekend is therefore up in the air.

Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
Joe Gomez made his first appearance of 2025 in last weekend's FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle but lasted just 11 minutes before succumbing to a hamstring injury, one that is expected to keep him out of Sunday's game too.

Return date: February 19 (vs. Aston Villa)
Curtis Jones reacted angrily to Abdoulaye Doucoure celebrating in front of the away end on Wednesday evening, and the midfielder's part in the post-match brawl saw him receive a second yellow card after the full-time whistle, meaning that he will serve a one-game ban on Sunday.
In addition, head coach Slot was also sent off by referee Michael Oliver at the end so will not be manning the touchline either.
