Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Luton Town

Fresh from advancing to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, Liverpool return to Premier League action away to newly-promoted Luton Town on Sunday afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp's men survived a scare and torrid conditions to see off Bournemouth 2-1 in the cup in midweek, as Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez struck either side of a Justin Kluivert leveller.

The Reds now have a three-game winning run to try to extend at Kenilworth Road, although their last two away games against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion have seen them amass just one point.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with the Hatters, who were put to the sword 3-1 by Aston Villa last time out.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Personal Possible return date: November 5 (vs. Luton)

For the second game running, Luis Diaz was not involved amid his parents' kidnap in Colombia, and while his father remains missing, the former Porto attacker has been training and will be given the option to decide whether he is ready to return here.

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match, but Alexis Mac Allister is one booking away from a Premier League ban.
