Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Bromwich Albion

Liverpool face West Bromwich Albion in their first post-Christmas fixture aiming to build on a famous 7-0 victory over Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League.

The Reds ran riot against Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday - the first time that they have ever won an away top-flight match by a seven-goal margin.

Jurgen Klopp's men have an eight-day gap between matches, giving them a chance to get some of their injured players back to fitness in time for a mad rush of fixtures.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news.
