Liverpool remain very much in control of the Premier League title race.

The Reds made light work of Ipswich Town at the weekend, thumping the strugglers 4-1 thanks to Cody Gakpo's brace as well as strikes from Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah.

Elsewhere, Arsenal beat Wolves 1-0 but Nottingham Forest were battered 5-0 away at Bournemouth.

All of which means Arne Slot’s are still six points clear at the top of the Premier League table and perhaps, crucially, they have played a game fewer than the Gunners..

After three wins in a row, Liverpool are bound to bounce into another busy week in confident mood.

So, ahead of facing PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday night before a trip to the Vitality Stadium this weekend, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injury news.

Curtis Jones

The midfielder was substituted at half-time during the 2-1 victory over Lille in the Champions League.

Having picked up a knock in the first half that saw Curtis Jones unable to continue, he was ruled out of the Ipswich game and is a doubt to face PSV and Bournemouth.

"He went out during half-time, so that's mostly not a good sign, and it wasn't because he will not be available for the game tomorrow," Slot revealed ahead of the Ipswich clash.

"The rest we have to wait and see how long it's going to take.

I'm not expecting months… but let's see if he's available for PSV or Bournemouth."

Potential return date: Unknown

Diogo Jota

Diogo Jota suffered a setback after scoring Liverpool’s equaliser at Forest.

The Portugal forward suffered a knock in that game and has duly missed the last three games across all competitions.

"He felt a little bit when he came in [at Forest], a little niggle during the half-hour he came in,” said Slot in the most recent update.

“He could finish the game, but afterwards he complained a bit about it and that's why he didn't train yesterday [Thursday before the Brentford game].”

Potential return date: Unknown

Joe Gomez

Joe Gomez hasn’t featured for Liverpool since coming off against West Ham last month with a hamstring injury.

The England international’s return date is unclear, with Slot saying Gomez was “quite far” away from a comeback when speaking ahead of the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Potential return date: Unknown
