CB Ragnar Klavan

When Joel Matip was unavailable to begin the season, Ragnar Klavan showed he’s a worthy rotation option in the first two Premier League matches. Since Matip’s proved his fitness, his quality shone through. The quality that made Liverpool want him so badly.

Klavan then picked up an injury anyway and was unable to capitalize on Dejan Lovren’s late knock before Leicester thus allowing Lucas Leiva into the side in his stead.

The Estonian should get to play again against Derby.
