Alexis Mac Allister - Out for derby Mac Allister (knee) is dealing with a punctured bone and is out for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "The other boy stepped on his knee and...

Impact Mac Allister suffered the painful injury last time out and is now set to miss a few matches. The good news is that despite the injury being painful it isn't expected to sideline Mac Allister for any long period of time and he could be back before the winter break.

Luis Diaz - Starts in four straight Diaz has notched five goals on 31 shots to go along with eight crosses, 15 chances created and 16 tackles in 19 appearances (14 starts) this season.

Impact Diaz continues to be Liverpool's top option on the left flank this season, having started in the past four matches after a brief stint where he was only given the starting nod once in five matches. He will look to keep up the same production with his team being top of the league, having five goals this season, which already matches his total from last season. However, he has struggled to create opportunities this season, going without an assist so far this season. He will look to continue as the starter as Liverpool tries to capture the title in a highly contentious top-of-the-table race.

Joel Matip - Undergoes successful surgery Matip (knee) underwent successful knee surgery to repair his ruptured ACL, Liverpool announced.

Impact Matip is now in line for a long-term recovery that will see him ruled out throughout the rest of 2023/24. The center-back is out of contract at the end of the season so this may spell the end of his Liverpool career, especially with such a severe injury.

Alisson - Heroic in win Alisson made three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Alisson stopped three of the four shots he faced and made a heroic save during second half stoppage time. The goalkeeper remains one of the best in the world and bears consideration in all formats as perhaps the most consistent goalkeeper in England. Alisson will hope to keep this brilliant form rolling in a busy December.

Curtis Jones - Assists in win Jones assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Crystal Palace.

Impact Jones came off the bench and was an immediate difference-maker during Saturday's win. The midfielder ended up setting up the winning goal during the match and looked excellent. With Liverpool competing in so many competitions Jones will likely continue to rotate with Ryan Gravenberch.

Harvey Elliott - Scores winner Elliott scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Elliott netted the winner in second half stoppage time. The winger came off the bench, limiting his floor day-to-day due to his inconsistent role. When in the starting XI Elliott has some upside and is worth consideration, though he's unlikely to get any consistent run in the starting XI.

Mohamed Salah - Nets 200th goal Salah scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Salah scored his 200th Premier League goal during Saturday's win, slotting home a late equalizer. The winger continues to be one of the absolute best in the Premier League and an elite option against any opponent. Salah is showing no signs of slowing down and will be the first name on the Liverpool team sheet in all competitions.

Alisson - Starting versus Crystal Palace Alisson (leg) is in the XI to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Alisson will make his return after sitting out three matches due to a leg injury. He has kept four clean sheets in his last four appearances, making 12 saves and allowing two goals.

Alexis Mac Allister - Injury not looking good Mac Allister (knee) isn't trending positively for a Sunday clash with Crystal Palace, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Macca doesn't look good, so we have to see day by day. The...

Impact Mac Allister's knee injury isn't looking great as he remains a doubt to return before Christmas. As Jurgen Klopp alluded to that will sideline him for a good chunk of time, a disappointing turn. Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones are in for more minutes with Mac Allister injured.

Alisson - Could play Saturday Alisson (leg) could be an option for Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Alisson looks good, I don't know if good enough now for tomorrow. I have t...

Impact Alisson was never expected to play before a Sunday clash with Manchester United but it now seems like he has a chance of returning a week early. If Alisson can play against Palace it would send Caoimhin Kelleher back to the bench, where he has been a consistent backup.

Alexis Mac Allister - Could miss the next match to two Mac Allister suffered a cut to his knee and is set to miss Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, per manager Jurgen Klopp. "Macca, it was a shame. Early, he stepped on his knee, ther...

Impact Mac Allister has struggled to find goals this season with just once along with an assist during his first season with Liverpool. He had 10 goals and two assists with Brighton last campaign, while starting 31 of the 35 appearances. Either Wataru Endo or Curtis James could see the start on Saturday against Crystal Palace in his absence.

Caoimhin Kelleher - Earns clean sheet Kelleher made one save and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Sheffield United.

Impact Kelleher had to stop just one shot during Wednesday's win and he did so to come away with the clean sheet. Kelleher is in line for at least one more start before Alisson is expected to be back, which will relegate Kelleher back into a role as the cup goalkeeper.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Assists from corner Alexander-Arnold assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 12 crosses (six accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Sheffield United.

Impact Alexander-Arnold is perhaps the hottest player in the Premier League right now and he added another goal contribution, this time an assist to Virgil van Dijk. The right-back has played all over the pitch for Liverpool and is one of the most impressive attacking options for club and country. Alexander-Arnold also maintains a solid floor with his role on every type of set-piece.

Darwin Nunez - Assists Wednesday Nunez assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Sheffield United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th mi...

Impact Nunez's assist during Wednesday's clash perfectly sums him up. He missed his first tough and had to make an absurd tackle to win the ball back and play Dominik Szoboszlai through who then scored with ease. Nunez is going through a bit of a drought goalscoring-wise, but when he's on the pitch he makes things happen.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominik Szoboszlai - Nets late goal Szoboszlai scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Sheffield United.

Impact Szoboszlai got on the scoresheet during Wednesday's rout, scoring off a great pass from Darwin Nunez. Szoboszlai has been one of the best signings in the Premier League and is consistently one of the best on the pitch for Liverpool. Szoboszlai will remain a top option in all competitions with one of the safest starting roles in the midfield.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Virgil Van Dijk - Nets in win van Dijk scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact van Dijk opened the scoring from a corner in the first half of Wednesday's clash. The defender is obviously one of the best defensively in England and he's also a decent goalscoring threat especially with the quality of set pieces Liverpool produce. van Dijk also has excellent clean sheet upside with the defensive unit he commands.
