Virgil Van Dijk - Costly error Sunday Van Dijk generated one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Van Dijk was in the back line once more during Sunday's loss, and he had a surprising mix up with Alisson that led to the eventual winning goal. It was a tough day for the center-back, who remains one of the best in the Premier League, though he doesn't tend to fill the stat sheet. Van Dijk should have some more chances for clean sheets in some more favorable matches on the horizon.

Alisson - Rare off day Alisson made four saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat versus Arsenal.

Impact Alisson had one of his worst showings in a Liverpool kit, struggling to contain the Arsenal attack and making a few major errors. The goalkeeper remains an elite option, but against most opponents he will not see much volume, though he will have great clean sheet chances. Alisson will hope to make the most of upcoming clashes with Burnley and Luton Town in particular.

Darwin Nunez - Single shot off bench Nunez generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 defeat versus Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Nunez got back from his foot injury and came off the bench to try and complete a late comeback. He wasn't able to do so but Nunez did cause some chances for the attack late on. Nunez should be back leading the line for a Saturday clash with Burnley, with Cody Gakpo likely to fall to the bench once more, if Nunez is fully fit.

Thiago - Returns off bench Thiago played five minutes in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Thiago came off the bench for the final five minutes of Sunday's clash, finally getting back after a series of injury setbacks. The question now will be if Thiago can stay fit, and where he might slot into the first team. He's certainly a creative option, though Thiago doesn't generally press as well as other midfielders preferred by manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Szoboszlai's situation looks to be more of a cautionary than anything, as with the player just returning from a hamstring issue, the club will not want to lose him for an even longer period after aggravating the same area he was injured in before. The midfielder will now undergo a further assessment, hoping for good news and a chance to play Saturday against Burnley. More should be known about his health in the coming days, as the club will hope to gain one of their regular starters back after only one absence.

Impact Konate is set for a one match suspension after he was handed two yellow cards during Sunday's loss. With Joel Matip out for the season, this leaves Jarell Quansah with a chance to get another start at center back alongside Virgil van Dijk for Saturday's clash with Burnley.

Darwin Nunez - Struggling with foot Nunez is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Arsenal after picking up a foot injury after Wednesday's 4-1 win over Chelsea, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."So, nothing broke, X-ray cl...

Impact Nunez could get back on the pitch for Sunday's trip but it will mostly come down to the swelling in his foot pre-match. If Nunez can't get back on the pitch it would likely push Diogo Jota into the middle with Cody Gakpo on the left wing. Nunez has five goal contributions in his last four Premier League matches, including three goals.

Impact Allister started two of the three matches played since returning from a strain, having played the entire 90 minutes in the games started. His goal tally is still far short than last season, with only a goal and an assist during his first season with Liverpool. However, the midfielder has been producing on the defensive side, with an average of about 2.8 tackles per contest.
