Kostas Tsimikas - Assists for clean sheet Tsimikas assisted once to go with five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-0 victory versus Wolverhampton.
Impact Tsimikas frankly looked shaky on the defensive side of the ball throughout the first half, but he was a completely different player after half time. In the end, his efforts paced the squad in total crosses and corners, and his 77th minute assist helped seal the victory for Liverpool.

Impact Jota delivered a timely assist to Virgil van Dijk, and van Dijk did the rest to open the scoring in the 73rd minute. Overall, the attacker looked generally fit after battling injuries throughout the early portion of this season. He was relieved during the 76th minute for a fresh set of legs in Cody Gakpo.

Virgil Van Dijk - Nets opener versus Wolves Van Dijk scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Wolves.
Impact Van Dijk headed home the first goal of the match via a well-placed Diogo Jota cross to give Liverpool all the cushion it would need in this one.

Ibrahima Konate - Starting Wednesday Konate (hamstring) will be in the starting XI versus Wolverhampton on Wednesday.
Impact Konate has been out of action for Liverpool's last five matches due to his hamstring problem. Even with the central defender fit again, he is far from a lock for the starting XI with Joel Matip also in contention to feature on the back line. Konate won't offer much in terms of the final third but should rack up plenty of defensive stats.

Darwin Nunez - Starting versus Wolves Nunez (shoulder) will feature in the starting XI against Wolverhampton on Wednesday.
Impact Nunez is back in the starting XI after missing just one match versus Crystal Palace on Saturday. In his last four contests (all starts), the forward racked up two goals on 14 shots (seven on target), one assist and four crosses (zero accurate). With Nunez back on the pitch, he should offer top-end fantasy production given his offensive upside.

Fabinho - Limited off bench Fabinho came off the bench for 19 minutes during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.
Impact Fabinho has struggled for form throughout the 2022/23 season and even fell out of the starting XI on Saturday. The midfielder was brought on the pitch for the final 19 minutes and made a single tackle in yet another lackluster showing. The midfielder will hope to find some form and hold onto a seemingly tentative role in the starting XI.

Joe Gomez - Sill injured Gomez (undisclosed) will not be an option for Wednesday's clash against Wolverhampton, confirmed manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Gomez will miss his second match in a row with an undisclosed injury. He has been able to feature in the starting XI in 17 out of 24 appearances this season. In that span, the defender has totaled one assist, 47 clearances, 26 interceptions and 31 tackles (22 won). Joel Matip will probably get the start again in center back Wednesday.

Thiago - Continues to progress Thiago (hip) is still rehabbing from his injury, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Thiago, in the moment, is doing his rehab."
Impact It does not seem likely that Thiago will be returning for at least another week or more as he continues to recover from a hip flexor injury. He has been out since Feb. 4 and will need time to return to full fitness if he wants to be considered an option in the midfield again. The 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic is expected to continue in the XI with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho the other regulars in the midfield.

Luis Diaz - Recovering well Diaz (knee) is continuing to recover well, but has yet trained with the team, ""Lucho [is] looking good. I just watched him now training with the rehab guys and that looks really g...
Impact Diaz is still recovering from knee surgery from December, but is doing well and should return to individual training in the next coming weeks. The Colombian will need at least a full week of team training if he wants to be an option for the team where he will likely start on the bench until he can work himself back to a starting role.

Impact Konate has not stepped foot on the pitch since Jan 21 and looks to be good to go Wednesday after training fully with the team. He is expected to come off the bench at minimum. The defender has logged in 12 clearances, nine tackles (five won) and six interceptions in the last three matches played.
FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darwin Nunez - Late fitness test Nunez (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's clash against the Wolves, according to manager Jurgen Klopp, "Darwin trained yesterday with us. Let's see if it's good enough...
Impact Nunez thought to have recovered from his shoulder injury after scoring against Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 on Feb 21, however he reinjured the shoulder that forced him to miss Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. If he does not meet game day fitness Wednesday, Diogo Jota will likely get the start again.
FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alisson - Quiet draw Alisson recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Crystal Palace.
Impact Alisson didn't have to contend with a shot on his net and earned another clean sheet, though just a draw after a tepid attacking performance saw Liverpool shut out. Alisson remains one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League, though the deeply flawed defense in front of him has prevented him from reaching his previous heights.
FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mohamed Salah - Shut down for draw Salah registered three shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Crystal Palace.
Impact Salah was held to just three shots, only putting one on net as he and Liverpool were shut out. The winger has a truly elite ceiling, but the dysfunctional team around him in 2022/23 has certainly caused issues with him trying to reach that point. Salah will have tough opponents to contend with during the hectic second half schedule.
