Liverpool must bounce back from their worst performance and result of the season in order to keep their treble dreams on track when they take on Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side travel to Stamford Bridge off the back of a chastening 3-0 defeat at Watford on Saturday, ending their 18-match winning streak and 44-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
The result will do little to affect their title chances, but with their Champions League hopes hanging in the balance March could prove to be a pivotal month in their attempts to emulate Manchester United's 1999 treble-winners.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the Reds' latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's contest.
