Liverpool will be looking to continue their recent revival with a third Premier League win in the space of a week when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield on Wednesday.
The champions suffered a poor start to the year but have returned to form recently, recording back-to-back 3-1 away wins over Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United respectively.
Liverpool have not won three league games on the bounce since September, but will face a tricky challenge against a Brighton team coming into this one off the back of beating Spurs and keeping three clean sheets in a row.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how Jurgen Klopp could set his side out for the contest.
Out: Joel Matip (ankle), Fabinho (muscle), Virgil van Dijk (knee), Joe Gomez (knee), Diogo Jota (knee)
Doubtful: Sadio Mane (muscle), James Milner (hamstring), Naby Keita (muscle)

Klopp sprung something of a surprise with his starting XI against West Ham, switching up the formation and leaving both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino out of his starting XI.
Mane was absent due to a muscle problem which, while not serious, is also likely to keep him out of this game given the quick turnaround in fixtures and the fact that Manchester City await them at the weekend.
Firmino should return to the side, while Klopp is also expected to resist the temptation to rest Mohamed Salah, who ended a six-game Premier League drought with his brace against the Hammers.
The Premier League's top scorer has now become the first Liverpool player since Ian Rush to score 20 or more goals in four successive seasons, and he has a formidable record against Brighton too, averaging either a goal or assist every 63 minutes against the Seagulls.
At the back, Nat Phillips could keep his place having impressed over the last game-and-a-half, although he now has more competition for places after deadline day, with Liverpool bringing in Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak.
Klopp may opt against throwing either straight into the mix, though, meaning that captain Jordan Henderson is set for another start at the heart of the defence too.
Liverpool's deadline-day business came in the knowledge that Joel Matip will miss the rest of the season with the ankle ligament damage he sustained against Tottenham, joining fellow centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez as long-term absentees, while Fabinho is also currently sidelined but should be back for the weekend.
The Reds are also still without Diogo Jota, but Naby Keita is nearing a comeback and James Milner is expected to overcome a tight hamstring to be available.
The veteran utility man may drop out of the starting XI, though, with Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain among those knocking on the door for a start and some rotation likely from Klopp ahead of Sunday's showdown with Man City.
