A whopping 55 points separate the two sides heading into the match and, after Manchester City's game against West Ham United was postponed due to adverse weather conditions, a 25th victory from 26 league games this season would see Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the table to 25 points.

With a 19th league title looking like a formality now, Jurgen Klopp may even let one eye drift to the first leg of their Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid which follows on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Liverpool following the winter break.
