Reigning European champions Liverpool will be looking to keep the defence of their title alive on Wednesday night when they welcome Atletico Madrid to Anfield for a must-win second leg in their last-16 tie.
Atletico stifled Jurgen Klopp's side at the Wanda Metropolitano as Saul Niguez's early goal earned the La Liga outfit a 1-0 lead at the halfway stage of the tie, with Liverpool failing to have a single shot on target.
However, the Reds have been imperious at Anfield in recent years and have not lost in front of their own fans in any competition since September 2018 - 42 matches ago.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Liverpool will be without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker for this match after the Brazilian picked up a slight muscle strain on his hip during training last week.
