Seeking their first Premier League win at the Gtech Community Stadium at the third attempt, Liverpool are back in action against Brentford on Saturday lunchtime.
Jurgen Klopp's outfit retained their two-point lead atop the pile with a 3-1 win over Burnley last weekend, as Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz all made the net bulge.
Manchester City still have a game in hand over the Merseyside giants, though, and their trip to Brentford's turf last season ended in a forgettable 3-1 defeat.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the trip to Brentford, who defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 last time out.
