Caoimhin Kelleher - Beaten early Kelleher registered five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
Impact Kelleher conceded an early goal to John Stones before focusing in and playing a brilliant final 70 minutes. The goalkeeper has been astounding since stepping into the starting XI in place of Alisson. If Kelleher can keep this form going to close the season he will likely earn a look for a starting job elsewhere in the Premier League.

Luis Diaz - Misses glorious chance Diaz generated two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.
Impact Diaz was through on goal in the final 10 minutes of Sunday's draw and blazed a glorious chance just wide. It was a heart-wrenching miss for the winger, who has struggled to finish of late. Still he has created chances with ease in recent matches and if he can improve his finishing, Diaz could be in for a late goalscoring surge.

Mohamed Salah - Active off bench Salah registered three shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
Impact Salah wasn't deemed fit enough for the starting XI during Sunday's title six-pointer, instead coming off the bench. The winger made a major impact off the bench, as expected, causing chances all over the pitch. Salah may not be ready to start before the March international break, as Liverpool look to manage his hamstring injury.

Alexis Mac Allister - Nets penalty Mac Allister scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.
Impact Mac Allister converted his chance from the penalty spot and seemingly earned a second penalty in second half stoppage time. That second penalty was surprisingly not given, but still it was another example of how good Mac Allister has been going forward of late. Mac Allister will hope to keep this offensive purple patch going heading into the March international break.

Impact Konate was held out for the club's pivotal match against Manchester City on Sunday due to a groin issue after receiving scans on the injury ahead of the contest. However, he appears to only be carrying a minor problem, as he is now set to return this weekend. He will now look to get in training ahead of the match, confirming his status as available for the FA Cup tilt. If this is the case, he will hope to earn the start in his return, having started in 19 of his 24 contests this season when available.

Impact Konate made it 50 minutes before going down in pain and immediately being brought off.

Impact Gravenberch is walking without crutches once more, a good sign for his recovery.
