Liverpool are currently enjoying their Premier League winter break - and their position at the summit of the table remains intact.
Manchester City have closed the gap to two points after they earned a dramatic 3-2 victory over Newcastle United last weekend, while Aston Villa were held to a 0-0 draw against Everton and missed out on moving joint-top.
Jurgen Klopp and his Reds squad have enjoyed some much-needed respite. They'll reassemble at the AXA Training Centre later this week as their attention will turn to a trip to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday (16.30 GMT). Liverpool do have several players currently injured that Klopp will be desperate to get back and ensure their title charge does not hit the buffers.
Ahead of the Bournemouth clash, here's the latest on the fitness front.

2. Joe Gomez - illness
A flu outbreak meant that the defender, who has been in outstanding form of late, could not feature against Burnley. Gomez did report for duty on the eve of the game but was sent home as he had a temperature. That suggests he should be back for the Reds’ next match. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February.
3. Trent Alexander-Arnold - knee
The Liverpool vice-captain was forced at half-time against Burnley with a recurrence of an issue that saw him miss four matches recently. Alexander-Arnold got his studs stuck in the ground and was not risked. The right-back was not overly concerned by his problem but further assessment was required. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
4. Mo Salah - hamstring
It is approaching four weeks since Liverpool’s talisman suffered his setback representing Egypt at the African Cup of Nations. The Reds have coped without Salah bar their loss at title rivals Arsenal. There is a chance that the winger could be back in parts of training this week, which could see him back in the squad at Brentford. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February or Luton (H), Wednesday 21 February.
