Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Liverpool will be looking to make it four straight wins in the Premier League when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield on Friday night.

Jurgen Klopp's side were back in league action on Boxing Day, recording a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa to make it nine points from the last available nine in England's top flight.

The result left the Merseyside giants in sixth position in the table, boasting 25 points from their opening 15 matches of the 2022-23 campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Leicester, who currently sit 13th in England's top flight.
