Alisson - Keeps clean sheet against Serbia Alisson made zero saves and kept a clean sheet during Thursday's 2-0 win over Serbia.

Impact Alisson saw his side controlling the entire match and not letting the opposition put a single shot on target, but showed his usual safety on the few crosses sent into his box. The goalkeeper will try to keep another clean sheet during Monday's clash against Switzerland.

Ibrahima Konate - Starting Tuesday Konate (undisclosed) will be in the starting XI against Australia on Tuesday.

Impact Konate has struggled to make regular appearances for Liverpool this season due to various injuries but will start for France in central defense. Konate isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but should be a target in the box on corners and freekicks.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Curtis Jones - Extends contract by five seasons Jones signed a five-year contract extension with Liverpool, it was announced Thursday.

Impact Jones must expect to play more in the coming seasons but a calf injury that delayed his debut until mid-October prevented this from coming sooner. For now he's another academy prospect climbing the ranks and will offer an alternate option in midfield or on the left wing. Even going into his third season as a professional, Jones has faced difficulties playing more frequently with Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and other exceptional players regularly in the lineup.

Alisson - Four saves in win Alisson made four saves and one clearance in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Alisson stopped four of five shots he faced during Saturday's win, ending with yet another impressive showing before the World Cup break. The goalkeeper heads to the World Cup as the starting option for tournament favorites Brazil. Alisson will be an elite option in all formats for the World Cup.

Mohamed Salah - Breaks goal-scoring streak Salah had four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Salah couldn't keep his goal-scoring streak alive heading into the World Cup break ending it at four matches. The forward was still aggressive during Saturday's win with four shots, but he also failed to create a chance in the match. Salah heads into the World Cup break with 13 goals and four assists in all competitions, a solid return though not living up to the incredible standards he has shown in previous seasons.

Harvey Elliott - Assists in win Elliott assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Southampton.

Impact Elliott provided his first Premier League assist for Liverpool during Saturday's win. The midfielder has seen plenty of playing time in all competitions but has yet to really produce the end product needed yet. Elliott's good form should keep him as a nailed-on starter, though he still sits with less than one chance created per game.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andy Robertson - Pair of assists in win Robertson assisted twice to go with nine crosses (five accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-1 win against Southampton.

Impact Robertson provided two assists on a monstrous six chances created as he continued his red-hot form. The left-back has shown why he is an irreplaceable part of the Liverpool starting XI since returning from injury. Robertson has six assists in all competitions heading into the World Cup break, creating 32 chances across 15 total appearances.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Firmino - Nets in win Firmino scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Southampton.

Impact Firmino scored his seventh Premier League goal during Saturday's win, his first since early October. The striker wasn't called up to the Brazilian World Cup squad and now has time for an extended break to recover any wear and tear. Firmino has already surpassed his season total from the 2021/22 Premier League campaign and is on pace for his best season since 2017/18, with seven goals and three assists in 13 appearances.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Darwin Nunez - Nets brace Nunez scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Southampton.

Impact Nunez has finally found his footing in the Liverpool attack and looks exceedingly lethal, with three goals and an assist in his last three matches. The striker is heading into the World Cup break in flying form and will hope to build on this with Uruguay in Qatar. Nunez has eight goals and two assists in all competitions heading into the break.

Ibrahima Konate - Misses Soton match as precaution Konate was held out of Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton as a precaution, according to manager Jurgen Klopp via Sky Sports. "Ibou couldn't play for us (Saturday), I really think...

Impact Konate doesn't face any threat of getting left behind yet when the French team travels to Qatar, as Presnel Kimpembe (hamstring) did Monday following an injury. All that's left to determine is the defensive depth chart, though at least Raphael Varane, Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez are the veterans from the 2018 World Cup triumph and may get first dips on starting spots.
