Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Liverpool are set to renew hostilities with Leicester City once again on Tuesday when they travel to the King Power for a Premier League battle.

Jurgen Klopp's side came back from 3-1 down to dump the Foxes out of the EFL Cup on penalties in midweek, with Caoimhin Kelleher the hero of the hour for the Reds.

The second-placed Merseyside outfit were due to take on Leeds United on Boxing Day, but that game will now take place at a later date given the Whites' significant number of absentees.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Leicester.
