Alisson Becker (6.78) was on top form until he pulled a hamstring, but he could return after the current international break, while the absence of Ryan Gravenberch (6.59) was deeply felt in midfield before his recent comeback. Middle of the road Giorgi Mamardashvili (6.44) has shown himself to be a reliable substitute when stepping in for the injured Alisson, while Federico Chiesa (6.40) has performed well whenever needed, although his impact has waned recently.

Virgil van Dijk (6.38) might not be at his peak, but he remains Liverpool's top-performing defender this season, while Hugo Ekitike (6.38) began the campaign strongly but has found recent matches more challenging. He'll be hoping to reclaim his position on the left wing after being overlooked in favour of Florian Wirtz (6.13) in the past week, who has performed better in the number 10 role than some suggest.

Ibrahima Konate's (5.69) performance has been inconsistent, with his showing at Manchester City on Sunday marking one of four times he has scored below five. Alexander Isak (5.63), however, has become a concern due to an apparent lack of synergy with his teammates when on the pitch, while Milos Kerkez (5.29) has only shown fleeting moments of the talent that warranted his transfer from Bournemouth, marking a disappointing start to his career at Anfield.
