Liverpool will be expected to produce an emphatic performance against local rivals Everton when the two sides meet at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Following victory over Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United, Jurgen Klopp's men are 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Everton, meanwhile, are in dire form, with manager Marco Silva under heavy pressure following a poor run of results that have left the Toffees sitting 17th in the table.

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