Liverpool face Sunderland with up to eight missing as Slot’s options thin out

Liverpool head to Sunderland on Wednesday night knowing the quickest route back to winning ways is going to come with a significant selection problem.

The defeat to Manchester City on Sunday did not just cost us points, it also added a suspension to a squad that is already stretched by injuries in key areas.

Liverpoolfc.com’s latest squad availability update, last updated on February 8, lists seven injury concerns plus Dominik Szoboszlai’s one-match ban, meaning we could be without up to eight players at the Stadium of Light.
