Liverpool play host to Real Madrid on Wednesday evening needing to overturn a 3-1 deficit in order to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Despite Mohamed Salah giving his side hope with an away goal in the second half, the Premier League outfit were outclassed in Madrid.

However, Jurgen Klopp's team responded to that setback with a comeback win over Aston Villa on Saturday, giving the club a much-needed boost ahead of the reverse showdown with Los Blancos.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news before they welcome the Spanish giants to Anfield.
