Impact Keita was lackluster to say the least during Saturday's draw struggling to get much done on either side of the ball. The midfielder has struggled for both form and fitness in 2022/23, and doesn't seem to be doing much with the playing time he's been given. Keita and Liverpool look largely toothless in attack, and have a hectic schedule to contend with, giving them little chance to regroup from a tough second half.

Diogo Jota - Four shots on return Jota registered four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Jota returned to the starting XI after a long-term injury and lead the line with the absence of Darwin Nunez (shoulder). Jota wasn't overly impressive in the starting XI and ended the match with only a single shot on goal in the draw. Still Jota has shown impressive form when fully fit, and it's possible he's not quite back to full capacity since his injury.

Until that, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez will remain options next to Virgil van Dijk on the back line.
