Clark, Bradley, Jota - Liverpool injury news and expected return dates before Tottenham

Liverpool are back in Premier League action this weekend as they look to finish off the season as positively as possible.

The Reds were in a three-way race with Arsenal and Manchester City for what would have been a fairytale Premier League table for Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge. But two defeats and a draw in their last three league games has seen the Reds drop off the pace.

Liverpool sit in third place in the table, five points adrift of leaders Arsenal and four points adrift of Manchester City in second who have a game in hand. It means that they're hopes of winning a second Premier League title under Klopp have all but gone.

The side are back in action on Sunday as they host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday afternoon (4:30pm kick-off). Spurs were in midweek action on Wednesday night as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Both teams will be looking to bounce back from disappointing results over the last few weeks. And Klopp could potentially welcome back one of his injured players with Conor Bradley returning to training ahead of the game.

With that in mind, here is the latest on the injury front ahead of the weekend’s action.
