Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

Liverpool will be desperate to end a five-game winless run in the Premier League when they travel to the capital to take on Tottenham Hotspur in Thursday's mouthwatering showdown.

Jurgen Klopp's men lost at Anfield for the first time in the league since April 2017 last week, as Ashley Barnes's penalty propelled Burnley to a famous 1-0 win on Merseyside.

The champions have now slipped to fourth in the table amid their winless run - six points behind current leaders Manchester United who knocked the Reds out of the FA Cup with a 3-2 triumph on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's contest.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson played no part against United after suffering a groin injury before the Burnley defeat. Klopp will hope to have his skipper back for Thursday's game, and he has taken part in full training recently.
