Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is at risk of a two-game ban and could receive the sanction should he be cautioned in Wednesday's meeting with West Ham United.
In the dominant win over Leeds United last week, the Brazilian picked up his ninth booking of the season following a cynical foul on USA international, Brenden Aaronson.
The win for Jurgen Klopp's side spark a glimmer of hope in their hopes of European qualification next season as they sit off the pace, currently held by Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. They kept up momentum with a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, a game in which the Brazilian avoided a caution.

It means in Wednesday's meeting, Fabinho will have to tow the line with the match officials so he can avoid retrospective action and miss their next two against Spurs and Fulham.
Premier League rules stipulate that players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in league matches up to and including their team's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match ban in the competition.
