CM Jordan Henderson

It’s looking like Emre Can won’t be fit to face Leicester on Saturday which is a borderline tragedy. It affects all those around him as there isn’t a like-for-like swap that should be made for the match.

There’s Lucas Leiva, but he’s returning from injury as well. Then there’s Kevin Stewart, but it’s Kevin Stewart. (I love you Kevin Stewart, just not as much as Adam Lallana or others that the team could be tinged to fit in)

Henderson drops deep (again), and he impressed against Tottenham in this role, and in turn the players at attacking midfield to have to do a little more defensive work.

But Klopp’s Liverpool have been fluid, elastic teams. Some games they’ve played with a left wing but not a right wing. Others, because of how hectic they can make the game at times, it looks like they’ve played with four box-to-box central midfielders with all the ground the team is covering.

Next: Adam Lallana
