Having already slayed one European titan at Anfield this winter, Liverpool seek to make Merseyside lightning strike twice when Premier League champions Manchester City stop over for Sunday's main event.
The Reds beat Real Madrid for the first time since 2009 on Wednesday evening, and deservedly so, as Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo breached the Champions League holders' backline in a 2-0 triumph.
Last time out in the Premier League, Arne Slot's men produced a spirited South Coast comeback to edge out Southampton 3-2 at St Mary's, where a second-half Mohamed Salah double took Sunday's hosts eight points clear at the summit of the top-flight rankings.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the holders, who are reeling from a catastrophic Champions League collapse in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Leg
Possible return date: Unknown
With mere seconds remaining in Wednesday's game, Ibrahima Konate appeared to hurt his leg and needed treatment after the final whistle. The Frenchman was eventually able to get to his feet, but he was far from comfortable, and he has confirmed that he will not be available for this one.

Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: December 1 (vs. Man City)
Conor Bradley gingerly limped off in the dying embers of the win over Real Madrid after a standout display, and even though he did not appear to have suffered a serious problem at first glance, he will also need a once-over before Sunday.

Type of injury: Ankle

Kostas Tsimikas has missed Liverpool's last two matches with an ankle injury he sustained in a training session; there is still no inkling as to when the Greek will be back in action, but it will not be this weekend.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Abdominal
Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Newcastle United)
Prior to the clash with Real Madrid, Slot conceded that he was not positive about Diogo Jota's chances of coming back for the visit of Man City, although Liverpool's attack are faring just fine without him.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Newcastle United)
Alisson Becker's hamstring problem is also not expected to let up in time for the clash with the champions, but the Reds literally remain in safe hands with Caoimhin Kelleher, who saved a penalty from Kylian Mbappe on Wednesday night.
Federico Chiesa

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Fitness
Possible return date: December 1 (vs. Man City)
Federico Chiesa is slowly being re-integrated into team training as he bids to overcome a plethora of fitness problems, but there is only a wafer-thin chance that the Italian will be back in the squad on Sunday.
