Liverpool injury latest
Liverpool's injury problems have eased massively in recent weeks, with a number of players having returned since the start of December.
Alisson, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas have all contended with significant spells on the treatment table this season, but all five players returned to action this month.
However, Arne Slot still does not have a completely clean bill of health, with Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate both unavailable.

Neville makes Liverpool and United comparison
Gary Neville said that the current Liverpool team reminds him of how his all-conquering Manchester United sides of old used to play.
The Reds underlined their title credentials on Sunday, scoring six times against Tottenham to ensure they will spend Christmas Day with a four-point lead at the top of the table.
Arne Slot's men recorded a 6-3 win over Tottenham after a predictably frantic game in North London on Sunday, and Neville praised the Reds' game management — despite the two goals they conceded after the 70-minute mark which gave Ange Postecoglou's men a glimmer of hope heading into the closing stages of the match.
"They remind me a little bit of us (the United teams Neville played in)," Neville said on Sky Sports. "We would play high tempo for 15 minutes then we'd sit back and play deep on the counter, then sometimes we'd slow it down and try and control the game if we were one or two goals up."

Slot expresses frustration despite victory at Spurs
Despite a commanding 6-3 victory over Tottenham, Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance.
The Reds dominated the game against Ange Postecoglou's side, and despite the scoreline suggesting a close match, Tottenham never seemed likely to win. Liverpool had a comfortable lead of 5-1 before late goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke spared Spurs further embarrassment.
However, Slot was not entirely pleased with his team's performance, criticizing some players for easing off after the hour mark. He deemed this 'not good enough', even though they secured all three points.
"For 60 minutes we did everything we had to do, we were comfortable and good with the ball. The main thing is we worked very, very hard," the Liverpool boss told Match of the Day.
"But then the same players with the same quality thought that 10 or 15 minutes of not working as hard was good enough. Tottenham have enough quality to score goals if you give them chances. You have to be on top of your game for the whole game and we didn't do that."

Mohamed Salah asked about his future
Liverpool has a new fourth-top goalscorer of all-time: Mohamed Salah.
"I didn’t think about it before the game but I am glad I did it," Salah told Sky Sports after the match. "It’s something that makes me happy and proud and hopefully there is more to come."
Asked if there was an update on his future, he simply added: "No."

Musiala claim
Liverpool is poised and ready to pounce if a transfer deal for Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala becomes a possibility, according to Rousing The Kop. The 21-year-old is under contract until 2026 but no agreement has been reached yet over an extension for the exciting young player who used to be in Chelsea's academy before he made the move to the Bundesliga giant.
It is still very much a possibility that Musiala will sign a new deal with Bayern Munich, and, of course, the Germany international has a year longer on his contract than some key men at Anfield, so all is not lost for Vincent Kompany. But Liverpool has supposedly "made contact" to express its interest should anything happen.
