Liverpool host Manchester City on Sunday in the pick of this weekend's Premier League action.
Arne Slot's side have been in strong goal-scoring form of late, with 15 scored in their past four games in all competitions. After the setback of a 3-2 league loss at Bournemouth, they thrashed Qarabag 6-0 to secure their automatic place in the Round of 16 before coming from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 4-1.
Next up is the visit of Pep Guardiola's City, who will feel as though they cannot afford a defeat given Arsenal hold a six-point lead in the title race.
The Sporting News brings you Liverpool's current injury list, as well as a look at their latest team news and a preview of how they could line up in their next match.

Liverpool injury list
Below is the latest injury picture for Liverpool, including estimated return dates for those who are sidelined.
Jeremie Frimpong
Injury: Thigh
Expected return date: March
Frimpong suffered another muscle injury against Qarabag, but Slot later said the injury was not as bad as first feared. However, having not trained this week, he is out of the City game.
Joe Gomez
Injury: Hip/pelvis
Expected return date: February 8 (vs. Manchester City)
Gomez was substituted during the first half of the defeat at Bournemouth after hurting himself in a collision with Alisson. Slot said he hoped to see the defender train on Saturday before deciding whether or not to include him in Sunday's matchday squad.
Conor Bradley
Injury: Knee
Expected return date: August 2026
Bradley hurt himself when clearing the ball into touch in the closing stages of the draw at Emirates Stadium. He was taken off on a stretcher in some distress, and the club later confirmed he requires surgery on what was described as a "significant" knee injury. The Northern Ireland international will miss the rest of this season after sustaining bone and ligament damage.
Alexander Isak
Injury: Broken leg
Expected return date: March
Alexander Isak was struggling to make an impact in his first few months at Anfield, and his woes worsened when he suffered a broken leg while scoring the opening goal in Liverpool's win over Tottenham on December 23.
While no timeline has been put on his return, the general consensus seems to be "a couple of months", which could see him return sometime in March.
Stefan Bajcetic
Injury: Hamstring
Expected return date: February
Ever since Stefan Bajcetic impressed in his early Liverpool days at the beginning of the 2022/23 season, Reds fans have been clamoring for the 21-year-old to see more time. Unfortunately, injuries have hampered his ability to get on the field since returning from a loan spell at Red Bull Salzburg.
The Liverpool youth product is supposedly nearing the end of his recovery from a serious hamstring injury, but constant delays to his timeline have fans skeptical on when he will actually be available for play.
Giovanni Leoni
Injury: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
Expected return date: August 2026
Summer signing Leoni suffered a nightmare debut as he horrifically tore an ACL against Southampton. The Italian defender underwent immediate surgery and his campaign has already been cruelly ended.
