Liverpool's title challenge faces one of its toughest remaining tests on Sunday when they travel to the home of their greatest rivals.
Jurgen Klopp's side head into the match against Manchester United behind champions and league leaders Manchester City on goal difference, but the title race remains in their hands given that they have played one game fewer.
Even a draw would send the Reds back to the top of the table with City not in Premier League action, but they know that only a win will really help to ease the growing pressure with the final stretch coming into view.
Liverpool have drawn three of their last four games, though - including a goalless stalemate with Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie - and face a United side still unbeaten domestically under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Reds were forced to name a makeshift defence against Bayern due to injuries and suspensions, but they should be closer to full strength this weekend.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: March 31
Klopp suggested that Oxlade-Chamberlain might be fit in time for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but with Liverpool's place in that round now hanging in the balance a more relevant target for his return may be the end of March - almost a full 12 months after suffering ligament damage.
LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST
Liverpool have no players suspended for this match, with Virgil van Dijk having served his one-game European ban in the first leg against Bayern.
