Trent Alexander-Arnold - Six crosses Sunday Alexander-Arnold recorded one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Alexander-Arnold produced six crosses and was his usually creative self throughout Sunday's match. The defender seems back to full fitness and should take his role back in the starting XI, especially with Conor Bradley (foot) injured. Alexander-Arnold will continue to be one of the top defenders in England whenever fit.

Virgil Van Dijk - Four shots in loss van Dijk generated four shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Crystal Palace.

Impact van Dijk was simply desperate to try and restore parity during Sunday's clash, taking some shots from range but failing to put them on target. The center-back finally came up short while trying to bail out the team. Still he remains one of the best in the Premier League, and Liverpool will continue to have great clean sheet chances in most matches.

Conor Bradley - Sustains foot injury Bradley has been confirmed to have injured his foot in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace, as manager Jurgen Klopp stated, "Conor overstretched his foot slightly. The first moment...

Impact Bradley looks set to possibly miss some time, as he is dealing with a foot injury that occurred just before halftime in the club's most recent match against Palace. It does not appear the club knows how serious it is, or at least not telling the public, as it is unknown how much time he will miss or how much damage the injury caused in his foot. However, the club will hope it is only minor, and he can return in a couple of weeks, making sure he is an option for the end of the season, as he has started in nine of the club's past 11 matches at right-back.

Conor Bradley - Off just after halftime Bradley was forced off in the second half of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace with an injury.

Impact Bradley left just four minutes into the second half, picking up an injury and being replaced by Trent Alexander-Arnold. The extent of Bradley's injury should be revealed following the match.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Available from bench Alexander-Arnold (knee) is in the squad for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Alexander-Arnold is in a Premier League match day squad for the first time in over two months, but will likely need to be eased back into match action with minutes from the bench. Conor Bradley remains in the starting XI at right back.

Alisson - In goal against Palace Alisson (hamstring) is in goal for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Alisson returns for the first time in over two months forcing Caoimhin Kelleher to the bench. The keeper will continue to start for Liverpool as long as he's fully fit during the run in to the Premier League title race.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Still uncertain Alexander-Arnold was on the bench but wasn't an option during Thursday's 3-0 loss to Atalanta, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."There was no chance to play Trent [against Atalant...

Impact Alexander-Arnold returning to the bench was a very encouraging sign, but it's less encouraging that he had no chance of playing. The defender has been training in recent weeks and could be in line for some sort of return during a Sunday clash with Crystal Palace.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Unused on bench Alexander-Arnold went unused on the bench during Thursday's 3-0 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Alexander-Arnold wasn't summoned off the bench as Liverpool were left chasing the game throughout. The defender should see time on the right flank and in midfield as he gets back to full fitness. His next chance to get on the pitch will be a Sunday clash with Crystal Palace.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Diogo Jota - Quiet off bench Jota (knee) came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Thursday's 3-0 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Jota made his return, as expected during Thursday's clash, coming off the bench to chase the game in the second half. The forward was unable to make a big difference, though he had a few decent moments. Jota will hope to find some more form as he gets fit in the closing stages of the Premier League.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Alisson - Not available Alisson (hamstring) isn't on the bench for Thursday's clash with Atalanta.

Impact Alisson wasn't quite deemed fit for Thursday's clash with Atalanta, as Adrian remains the backup option. The goalkeeper could return in the coming days, potentially as soon as a Sunday clash with Crystal Palace.

Stefan Bajcetic - Set for time with U21s Bajcetic (calf) is set to get time with the U21s before returning to the first team, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "Stefan is different a little bit because he was out fo...

Impact Bajcetic seems to be closing in on a return but won't be making it with the first team, as he is set for a game with the U21s before getting back to Premier League play. This comes after the midfielder has not taken the field since Sept. 21 due to his injuries, with that being his only appearance due to the short-lived time being healthy. He will now continue to eye a return to the first team over the next week or two, just hoping to get another chance on the field before the end of the season.

Alisson - Could return against Atalanta Alisson (hamstring) may be an option for Thursday's UEL clash with Atalanta, as manager Jurgen Klopp stated, "Alisson is on the way back as well. So, we have to see that."

Impact Alisson saw a return to team training this week, with the goalie now possibly returning to play Thursday after his recent advancements in health. The club will be happy to have the player so close to being back on the field, as he is a regular starter when healthy, having only missed the start in three of the 25 games he has been available for this campaign. He will now look to find the team sheet Thursday, most likely only serving off the bench in his return while Caoimhin Kelleher continues as the starter. However, it shouldn't take long for Allison to get the starting role back once he is on the team sheet, with that most likely coming over the next week or two if available against Atalanta.

Diogo Jota - Possible for return Jota (knee) could return to action against Atalanta on Thursday, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "So, obviously we didn't rush it with the boys. You can but we didn't, that...

Impact Jota saw a huge boost this week after seeing a return to full training Tuesday, giving slight confidence he could return Thursday. This comes after the forward has missed the club's past eight matches due to a knee issue, only playing seven times since Nov. 30 due to two separate injuries. It appears he is still in heavy doubt for the game, so even if he is selected, only expect the player to be on the bench, most likely gaining time to test his legs but not seeing more than a couple of minutes on the field.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Set for return Thursday Alexander-Arnold (knee) will be an option for Thursday's UEL match against Atalanta, as manager Jurgen Klopp stated, "So, obviously we didn't rush it with the boys. You can but we...

Impact Alexander-Arnold is returning slightly earlier than expected, as he is now supposed to return Thursday after not being scheduled for a return until April 18. This will be a tremendous addition back for the club, as the right-back has not appeared since the start of February due to his injuries but is a regular starter when healthy, starting in all but four games he has been available for this season. He will now hope to get the start Thursday, although the club may choose to remain with Conor Bradley for the time being, working Alexander-Arnold back from the bench after an injury-filled campaign.

Caoimhin Kelleher - Concedes from halfway line Kelleher made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

Impact Kelleher earned a draw in what could be his final start of the season as Alisson (hamstring) is back in full training. The goalkeeper didn't cover himself in glory in what was potentially his final match. He conceded from the halfway line as Bruno Fernandes went for glory. It was disappointing all around as Liverpool were the better team throughout Sunday's clash, and two poor saves by Kelleher proved costly.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Five shots in draw Szoboszlai registered five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Szoboszlai failed to get on the scoresheet but produced some brilliant volume throughout Sunday's draw. The attacking midfielder continues to be a huge part of the first team and is worth consideration in all matches. Even if Liverpool come up short in the title race Szoboszlai and fellow additions Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister have totally revitalized the Liverpool midfield.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Darwin Nunez - Assists Sunday Darwin Nunez assisted once to go with five shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

Impact Nunez was back on the scoresheet, this time with an assist during Sunday's draw. It was a good goal contribution but the performance as a whole was disappointing for Nunez, who could have scored a brace himself during Sunday's clash. In a match that Liverpool nearly lost it's still a decent showing, but he certainly left something on the table.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Diaz - Nets opener Diaz scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Diaz opened the scoring early in the first half during Sunday's clash, and while he didn't build too much on that performance later in the match he was excellent early. The winger is finding his form during the closing stages of the Premier League and could be a huge contributor as Liverpool look to send Jurgen Klopp out with a Premier League title.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Salah - Nets penalty Salah scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Salah scored from the penalty spot during the two-all draw, though it was a match that was largely underwhelming from the usually brilliant winger. He was oddly off the pace, often misplacing some simple passes and looking poor in his close control on a few occasions. Still a bad game for Salah is a goal, six shots and three chances created, few players match his consistent production.
