Liverpool injury, suspension list and return dates for Man United: Gomez, Konate, Bradley

Hoping to inflict more misery on their floundering foes, Liverpool host long-time nemesis Manchester United at Anfield in Sunday's Premier League main event.

Arne Slot's winning machine ended 2024 as they mean to begin 2025, hitting West Ham United for five without reply on December 29 as five different goalscorers got in on the act.

About to hit the halfway mark in their top-flight season, the Reds still boast a healthy six-point lead over closest challengers Arsenal - who have played an extra game - at the top of the Premier League standings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Man United, whose 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on Monday left them hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

The one negative of Liverpool's demolition of West Ham was the first-half hamstring injury to Joe Gomez, and Slot conceded post-match that the defender would be sidelined for "quite a bit", ruling him out of the visit of Man United.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)

The blow of a new injury to Gomez could be softened by the potential return of Ibrahima Konate, who hurt his knee against Real Madrid in November's Champions League triumph but is expected to train with his teammates ahead of this game.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)

Right-back Conor Bradley is in the exact same boat, having also hurt himself against Los Blancos a few weeks ago, but he is also set to return to full practice on Friday and could be available.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this game, as Dominik Szoboszlai is back from the one-game ban he served in the triumph over the Irons.
