Alisson - Four save clean sheet Alisson had four saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 win against Newcastle United.
Impact Alisson picked up four saves and earned a clean sheet that was made easier after Newcastle were sent down to 10-men early on. Alisson has been a shining star throughout 2023, often being the only part of the Liverpool side even keeping matches close and he's finally been rewarded for some of his good form.

Andy Robertson - Busy in win Robertson generated five crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against Newcastle United.
Impact Robertson found strong volume throughout Saturday's win, piling on the crosses and getting forward incessantly. The left-back is a top option in all formats with major volume going forward, and with Liverpool seemingly finding form he could return to his major upside. Robertson and Liverpool as a whole are looking for a strong second half bounce back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Assists Saturday Alexander-Arnold assisted once to go with nine crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Newcastle United.
Impact Alexander-Arnold got on the scoresheet with an assist during Saturday's win, while also piling on the volume. The wing-back has started to find some end product during the second half of the season and appears to be back to his usually dangerous self. Alexander-Arnold is among the top defenders in England while in this sort of form.

Mohamed Salah - Assists in win Salah assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Newcastle United.
Impact Salah provided an assist for Cody Gakpo during Saturday's win. The winger was linking up well throughout the match and created a plethora of issues for the Newcastle defense. Salah is still in the midst of a tough season, but has put together a goal and assist in his last two matches.

Cody Gakpo - Nets in win Gakpo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Newcastle United.
Impact Gakpo got on the scoresheet during Saturday's win, collecting in the box before finishing smoothly. The forward has found his legs in England of late and seems to be establishing himself in the starting XI. Gakpo will hope to build on this form to stay in the starting XI with Luis Diaz (knee) nearing a return.

Darwin Nunez - Scores before injury Darwin Nunez was subbed off due to injury in the 59th minute of Saturday's 2-0 victory over Newcastle United. He scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (z...
Impact Nunez came off with a shoulder injury and seemed to be in major discomfort after opening the scoring Saturday. Manager Jurgen Klopp spoke on the injury after the match, "In the end, he had to go off with a shoulder issue. We need further assessment; I don't know in the moment. In the moment is it painful, but hopefully it's just painful and not more." At the very least Nunez is a doubt for a Tuesday clash with Real Madrid.

Van Dijk 'ready' to start for Liverpool at Newcastle
Liverpool center back Virgil van Dijk is on track to start at Newcastle on Saturday after sitting out for nearly six weeks with a hamstring injuryFEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thiago - Still out Saturday Thiago (hip) will remain out for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact This wasn't much of an update on Thiago, who picked up this hip flexor issue only in the past week. It didn't seem major at the time, but this update isn't too positive and it wouldn't be surprising if Thiago was held out of Tuesday's game against Real Madrid. That being the case, more starts for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho could be ahead, while Stefan Bajcetic has seemingly found a consistent role in the midfield.

Roberto Firmino - Creates chance off bench Firmino subbed into Monday's match against Everton in the 80th minute, creating a chance in the 2-0 victory.
Impact Firmino marked his return to action on Monday after suffering a calf injury during the World Cup break. Winter signing Cody Gakpo has been starting at center forward recently and Diogo Jota is returning from injury too, while Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah remain mostly undroppable as well, so it is unclear what Firmino's role in the XI will be once he's fully fit again.

Diogo Jota - Comes off bench in Merseyside win Jota played the final 20 minutes or so of Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton.
Impact Jota made his first appearance since mid-October on Monday after recovering from a calf injury. He's been limited to just two Premier League starts this season due to this recent injury as well as a hamstring issue that had sidelined him at the beginning of the campaign, but it will be interesting to see how Jota fits into Liverpool's new-look attack alongside new arrivals Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, as well as the revitalized Roberto Firmino once he's back at full fitness.

Stefan Bajcetic Maquieira - Creates two chances in win Bajecetic took a shot on target and created two chances in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton. He also made a clearance, two interceptions and won one of two tackles in the match...
Impact Bajecetic has now started three Premier League games in a row for Liverpool, creating a total of four chances from midfield in that span.

Joe Gomez - Keeps clean sheet in derby win Gomez made a block, three clearances and an interception in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton. He also took a shot and won two of two tackles in the match.
Impact Gomez has kept two clean sheets in three Premier League appearances these last few weeks while Virgil van Dijk (hamstring) and Ibrahima Konate (hamstring) have been out injured. Gomez is likely to drop out of the starting lineup once either of the two return to fitness, however.
FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Trent Alexander-Arnold - Creates chance in derby win Alexander-Arnold made a clearance and created a chance in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton. He also won four of five tackles in the match.
Impact Alexander-Arnold had a solid game on both sides of the ball against Everton on Monday, though he was unlucky not to be credited with an assist for Cody Gakpo's second-half goal.
FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alisson - Keeps clean sheet against Everton Alisson made one save and kept a clean sheet in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Impact Alisson kept his second clean sheet in his last three Premier League games on Monday, but he's also conceded three goals on three separate occasions since the turn of the calendar year. He will need another good performance like this one next weekend against fourth-placed Newcastle United, which have scored 35 goals in 22 matches this season.
FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darwin Nunez - Records assist against Everton Nunez took five shots (one on target) and assisted a goal in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton.
Impact Nunez grabbed his first goal involvement in the Premier League since before the World Cup as he set up Mohamed Salah's opener in the Merseyside derby on Monday. Across his five league starts since the break, he's put up a combined 26 shots (10 on target) and six chances created, but Liverpool had been riding a three-game scoreless drought as a team before this Everton match.
FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Gakpo - Scores first Liverpool goal in derby Gakpo took two shots and scored a goal in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton. He also created two chances and won one of two tackles in the match.
Impact Gakpo finally got off the mark for Liverpool in Monday's Merseyside derby, tapping home an excellent cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to clinch the result for his side. He has wracked up 11 shots (two on target) and four chances created across his four Premier League appearances since joining the club from PSV in January, and he's been mostly lining up as a center forward so far.
