Spursvs.Liverpool

The Reds entered the hat for the EFL Cup semi-final draw on Wednesday evening, conquering managerless Southampton 2-1 at St Mary's to keep their prospects of back-to-back triumphs alive.

The success on the South Coast came after Arne Slot's 10 men fought doggedly to hold Fulham to a 2-2 draw in Saturday's Premier League clash, but they are now only two points clear of Chelsea at the top of the standings, albeit with a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Spurs, who take on Manchester United in the remaining EFL Cup quarter-final later on Thursday.

Ibrahima Konate

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: December 26 (vs. Leicester City)

Slot revealed in his pre-Southampton press conference that Ibrahima Konate - who sustained a knee injury against Real Madrid in the Champions League last month - was still not training with the team, so a comeback on Sunday is out of the question.

Conor Bradley

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: December 26 (vs. Leicester City)

Likewise, Conor Bradley is yet to return to full practice since hurting his hamstring in the same game, but there is still a chance that he could return for the showdown with Leicester City on Boxing Day.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Alexis Mac Allister returned from suspension in the EFL Cup win over Southampton, where Andy Robertson served his one-game punishment for his red card in the Fulham draw, meaning that Liverpool have no players banned for Sunday's blockbuster game.
