Liverpool will be looking to move to the top of the Premier League table when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.
The injury-ravaged Reds made light of their absentees with a 3-0 win over Leicester City last weekend, putting them level on points with leaders Tottenham Hotspur but with an inferior goal difference.
However, they were below par en route to a home Champions League defeat at the hands of Atalanta BC in midweek and face a quick turnaround to take on a Brighton side that beat Aston Villa last time out.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this contest.
