Liverpool welcome closest rivals Manchester City to Anfield on Sunday in a showdown which could prove pivotal to this season's title race.
The Reds have dropped just two points in the Premier League this term and would move nine points clear of the defending champions if they make it 20 wins from their last 21 top-flight outings.
Liverpool have not kept a single clean sheet at home all season, though, which will be a concern heading into a match against the division's top scorers.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Jurgen Klopp's side ahead of the blockbuster contest.
