Liverpool will endeavour to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup when they tackle Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in Tuesday's replay.
Jurgen Klopp's side were humbled in a 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, where Solly March struck twice alongside an effort from Danny Welbeck, and their first meeting with Wolves at Anfield two weekends ago ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
The out-of-sorts Reds have subsequently slipped down to ninth in the Premier League table - seven points adrift of the top four as the season approaches its midway point, and their FA Cup title defence is at risk of ending at the first hurdle.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Julen Lopetegui's side, who ran out 1-0 winners over West Ham United last time out.
