Premier League champions Liverpool got their title defence off to a winning start on the opening day and will be looking to follow that up when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Reds were nervy, error-strewn and disorganised in defence, but thrilling going forward in a madcap 4-3 win over newly-promoted Leeds United at Anfield to make an eye-catching start to the campaign.
In addition to the three points and three goals for Mohamed Salah, the return of captain Jordan Henderson from injury was another bonus from the contest for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's visit to Stamford Bridge.
