Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Burnley

Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Liverpool ahead of the title hopefuls' Premier League clash with Burnley on Sunday.

Liverpool host Burnley at Anfield on Sunday knowing that the Premier League title race is now out of their own hands.

Four draws in their last six league outings have caused what was once a seven-point lead over Manchester City to turn into a one-point deficit with only nine games of the season remaining.

Three of those stalemates have come away from home, though, and Liverpool have been in fine form in front of their own fans domestically this season.

Jurgen Klopp could also be boosted by the returns of some key players this month, but the German boss will know that his side cannot afford any more slip-ups if they are to catch the champions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the Reds.
