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

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round clash with Leicester City.

Liverpool will endeavour to stretch their winning run across all tournaments to seven games when they host Leicester City in Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round tie.

The Reds' purple patch continued at the weekend with a 3-1 success over West Ham United, where Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota all made the net ripple at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's men entered the 2022-23 EFL Cup as defending champions, but they lost their grip on the crown in the fourth round, losing 3-2 to Manchester City at the Etihad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their meeting with the Foxes, who sit top of the Championship table with seven wins from eight matches so far.
