Liverpool begin their quest to become the world's best team on Wednesday when they face Mexican side and CONCACAF champions Monterrey in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
Jurgen Klopp's side are bidding to win the trophy for the first time in their history following their sixth European crown last season, and they head to Qatar in relentless form.
Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford means that they are now 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, and across all competitions this term they have won 33 of their 36 outings.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's match, with the senior squad travelling to Qatar while a second-string selection stays at home for the EFL Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Georginio Wijnaldum added to Liverpool's growing injury list when he limped off against Watford on Saturday, although he has been included in the 20-man travelling squad to Qatar. Klopp is unlikely to take any risks over the Dutchman, though, so he is still a major doubt for Wednesday's game.
