Luis Diaz - Hopeful to train next week Diaz (knee) is hoping to train next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Luis I hope during next week. After the international break, then obviously for both [it's] possible."

Impact It sounds like Diaz won't be an option before the international break, though there's a slight chance he'll be an option in the final match of March if training goes well. He's been out since October and will likely need multiple weeks to get back his fitness, so a full return after the break is most likely with the trip to Man City being the first contest.

Thiago - May be out until break Thiago (hip) has yet to return to training and is unlikely to return before the international break, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Thiago we will see. None of them trained ye...

Impact There was never a firm timeline given on Thiago's return and it appears he's another couple weeks out. He's already been out a month, so the injury clearly isn't a good one, though Klopp has yet to give the exact problem. In his absence, Liverpool have used a few players in the midfield with Harvey Elliott maybe the most beneficial, as he's been playing in the Thiago role.

Alisson - Yet another clean sheet Alisson recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 7-0 victory versus Manchester United.

Impact Alisson was in the midst of a no-good, very bad season and he now has five straight Premier League clean sheets. It's been a stellar turnaround for Alisson and Liverpool as a whole defensively, as they've solved many of their defensive woes. Alisson won't be pushing 20 clean sheets as he has in previous seasons, though a tally in the mid teens suddenly seems possible despite having just four before the World Cup break.

Jordan Henderson - Provides rare assist Henderson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 win against Manchester United.

Impact Henderson got on the scoresheet for the first time in 22 Premier League appearances, whipping a cross in for an assist. The defensive midfielder has seen his role slip slightly, with just 14 starts, though he still finds his way into the team for big matches. Henderson has never been a major offensive contributor, though 2022/23 seems to be set for his lowest single-season goal contribution tally.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andy Robertson - Assists for opener Robertson assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 7-0 win versus Manchester United.

Impact Robertson set up Cody Gakpo for the opener just before half time with a beautiful through ball that sliced the Manchester United defense apart. It was a well-earned reward for the Premier League's all-time leading assister amongst defenders. The left-back is up to six assists in 22 appearances, and could make a late push to reach double digit assists yet again.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Harvey Elliott - Assists Sunday Elliott assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 win over Manchester United.

Impact Elliott provided one assist Sunday, his second in the Premier League as he created one chance. The midfielder has been a creative dynamo, though the end product has been lacking with just two assists in 20 chances creating. As Liverpool seem to find their footing going forward it's realistic to expect more of the chances Elliott creates to end up in the back of the net.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Firmino - Nets off bench Firmino scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 win over Manchester United.

Impact Firmino came off the bench for 11 minutes Sunday and scored and assisted during the win. The striker announced he would be departing Liverpool at the end of his contract, an unsurprising move as his playing time his waned of late. Still when coming off the bench Firmino has the talent to be an absolute difference-maker in all competitions.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cody Gakpo - Joins scoring fun Gakpo scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 victory against Manchester United.

Impact Gakpo scored his third and fourth Premier League goals with Liverpool during Sunday's one-sided rout. The forward hasn't been stellar since joining the Reds, but has found some form of late in a more central striking role. Gakpo's role in the first team may slip as Luis Diaz (lower leg) returns from injury.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Darwin Nunez - Nets brace Darwin Nunez scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 7-0 victory against Manchester United.

Impact Nunez scored twice during Sunday's rout, moving to eight Premier League goals in his debut season with Liverpool. The forward has also made it four goals in his last four matches in all competitions as he finds some attacking form. Nunez has been a mixed bag in England, but the potential for a major breakout to close out the season is certainly there.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Salah - Dismantles Red Devils Salah scored two goals and assisted twice from three shots and three chances created in Sunday's 7-0 win over Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th...

Impact Salah has quietly found some brilliant second half form, form he capped off with a pair of goals and assists Sunday. The forward remains one of the top options in the Premier League and despite sitting in the midst of a "down" year for himself and Liverpool, still has 18 Premier League goal contributions. Everything going forward will continue to run through Salah in Liverpool.
