Jurgen Klopp has described it as the most intense period of Liverpool's season.
The Reds are in the middle of a hectic fixture schedule are in action twice per week from now until after the new year. "We just have to get through this," said Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool's pulsating 4-3 victory over Fulham. "You have to find always a specific mood and mentality to get into the next game and to go for it and fight in hard moments and stuff like this."
From now until the clash against Newcastle United on New Year's Day, the Reds have a total of seven fixtures in three different competitions. Using squad depth accordingly will be crucial, starting with the trip to Sheffield United on Wednesday.
Ahead of the clash, here's the latest on the Liverpool injury front.
1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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.
4. Alisson Becker - illness
Klopp admitted that his No.1 goalkeeper could not eat or sleep ahead of the Burnley game, so Caoimhin Kelleher deputised superbly. Much will depend on how Alisson recovers from his sickness. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
