Liverpool will be looking to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this calendar year when they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp's side scored their first goals and picked up their first league victory of 2021 with a 3-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, ending a five-match winless streak and a run of four games without scoring.
That result lifted them back up to fourth place in the Premier League table, but they are just two points above an in-form West Ham side, who have won each of their last six games across all competitions.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Liverpool's never-ending centre-back problems deepened further still when Joel Matip was forced off at half time against Tottenham, with Klopp confirming after the game that the defender may have suffered ankle ligament damage. Klopp stopped short of ruling him out of this match entirely until the results of his scan are back, but a recovery in time for Sunday looks highly unlikely.
