Liverpool take on Everton in the Merseyside derby on Sunday knowing that victory may be required to keep hold of their one-point lead at the top of the standings.

Manchester City face Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, and a win for Pep Guardiola's side would put them two points clear of Liverpool.

However, Liverpool boosted their hopes of ending their long wait for another top-flight title on Wednesday night by thrashing Watford by a 5-0 scoreline.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with the Toffees.
