Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash with Chelsea at Anfield.

Liverpool will be handed the Premier League trophy for the first time on Wednesday night after they face Chelsea in their final home game of an unforgettable 2019-20 campaign.

Jurgen Klopp's side have won just three of their seven outings since the restart, including a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal last time out, but wrapped up the title in record time and will finally get to lift the English top-flight crown for the first time since 1990.

Liverpool did surrender their perfect home record in their last Anfield match, though, and need a win over their Champions League-chasing visitors to equal the record for most home points in a 38-game season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
