Liverpool will endeavour to stretch their Premier League winning streak to five matches when they welcome Fulham to Anfield for Wednesday's top-flight contest.
The Reds came up trumps in a seven-goal spectacular with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, as Diogo Jota struck an injury-time winner in a 4-3 triumph.
Jurgen Klopp's in-form troops have subsequently risen up to fifth in the rankings, albeit still seven points behind Manchester United having played a game more.
Not including Klopp, who appeared to pull his hamstring in Sunday's wild celebrations, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Cottagers, who fell to a 2-1 loss to Manchester City at the weekend.

Thiago Alcantara, who has lost his spot in the XI to Curtis Jones recently, was absent from the matchday squad against Tottenham and was seen limping towards the dugout at Anfield. Klopp did not offer an update on Thiago's condition after the game, but the Spaniard has seemingly emerged as a doubt for Wednesday.
