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

Liverpool will be desperate to avoid falling further off the pace in the Premier League title race when they travel to third-placed Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds paid for two costly errors by goalkeeper Alisson against Manchester City, who eased to a 4-1 victory on Liverpool's turf on Sunday afternoon.

That result marked the first time since 1963 that the champions have lost three top-flight home games in a row, and they head to the King Power Stadium three points behind Leicester and 10 points off top spot.

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