He’s been used in a variety of position across the forwards set so far this campaign, but with the arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk and João Félix (although he is suspended for this game), we are expecting to see Havertz, if he stays, being used more in a central position. Our predictor is in no doubt that Liverpool will put a stop to their two-match losing run in the Premier League with victory over Chelsea. Building upon that and continuing to convert the chances that is created by the abundance of talent alongside him, will help their rise up the table. His seven goals in the Premier League this season and four assists might not be quite setting off alarm bells in the owner’s box yet, despite Liverpool handing him a contract extension over the summer and Salah returning from a ‘proper’ break during the World Cup.. It’s probably not surprising when you consider he has played the third most minutes of any of their players this season (1336), behind Thiago Silva (1523) and Mason Mount (1336). But as Brighton proved last time out, it has been possible to stifle his attacking threat, reducing him to just 38 touches during the game, of which only four came in the Seagulls box. But for the second time in the 2021-2022 season, Liverpool would fail to win the game despite being in such an advantageous position. Despite those back-to-back defeats to start the calendar year, Liverpool can take solace in the fact this Saturday’s game takes place on home soil. The Reds have lost both of their league games against Brentford and Brighton, conceding three times in both matches. They haven’t lost their first three league matches in a calendar year since 1953, which was also the last time that they shipped three or more goals in a row in the top-flight. It will be the sixth time he’s faced off against Potter in an EPL dugout though, recording three wins, two draws and one defeat during Potter’s spell at Brighton and Hove Albion. It’s not exactly the showpiece game you would imagine that Jürgen Klopp would be hoping for in his 1000th match as a manager.

There were strong performances from the youngsters, with Elliott the match-winner and 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic outstanding at the base of the Reds' midfield.

Milner stepped in when he could, dropped off when he had to, and talked his younger colleagues through the game throughout. Starting at right-back, the veteran showed all of his nous, experience and quality to keep the lively Rayan Ait-Nouri in check. Elliott won the ball, and subsequently a throw-in to relieve the pressure on his side. It was, as much as Elliott's 13th-minute goal - and what a hit that was, by the way - a moment to sum up Liverpool's night. It was no surprise that Klopp opted to reshuffle his midfield after the disaster-class at Brighton, but to put his faith in a teenager making only his third professional start shows just how desperate the situation has become, and just how highly-rated the young Spaniard is. The celebration said it all, and it wasn't even for a goal.

Now they have to try to stay there, and many of their players have already learned the hard way how quickly things can change." "I was really impressed with their whole team, from front to back, and it looks like they have got the required steel – plus the bit of bite and hunger – that they will need in the next few months. Arsenal had more defending to do in the second half but they were just as good without the ball and, when Tottenham did get through, "The only thing we don’t know about Mikel Arteta’s side yet is how they will cope with being frontrunners in the second half of the season.

But if Elliott has done an imperfect impersonation of Henderson this season, he deputised for Salah in a style worthy of the Egyptian. For scorer and manager alike, there was a significance to the fact he found the net. “I have been judged a bit on assists and goals and it is something I have been working on,” Elliott said. It was a sign of precocity that he was arguably man of the match then. Elliott was encouraged by a colleague 18 years his senior, hearing the voice of experience, James Milner, urging him to shoot. He was horribly at fault for a goal at Brentford.

Klopp was delighted with the response which included Joe Gomez excelling in defence to stake his claim in the ongoing absence of Virgil van Dijk ahead of Chelsea’s visit on Saturday. “It's going to be a tough one but hopefully we can put it right at Anfield at home in the Premier League.” I don’t think it will be right after one game to say that will be the team for the next eight weeks.

Liverpool would want to end their winless run when they visit Wolves for the 3rd Round Replay of the FA Cup.

Wolves hadn't managed to score in any of their previous four games before their victory over the Hammers. However, their recent impotence in front of goal might just give the edge to Liverpool in this fixture. They have now gone winless in their last three games in all competitions, while also conceding eight goals in that period.
