Fabinho

Fabinho’s one match hiatus from the starting eleven is sure to be over – especially after the unfortunate injury to Jordan Henderson.

He will continue in the number six role until the end of the season, injury preventing.

Gini Wijnaldum

Gini also had a one game break from starting eleven action and looked back to his strong and effective best on Wednesday.

His partnership with Naby Keita could be crucial in breaking down a sturdy Clarets backline, albeit not directly but by moving the ball quickly to shuffle Burnley’s banks around enough to create space.

Naby Keita

Keita himself has really settled in and with Henderson’s injury, could establish himself as a starter for the beginning of 2020/21.

His form since lockdown has been a showcase of what he can bring, and how much of a different option he is to any other Liverpool have to deploy – picking up another assist for Mohamed Salah on Wednesday.
