Liverpool confirmed the rumors of player illnesses as Alisson Becker joined Joe Gomez on the sidelines due to flu leaving Jurgen Klopp with nine first team players unavailable against Burnley. However, Liverpool’s squad depth proved crucial with Caoimhin Kelleher making key saves and Jarell Quansah delivering a composed performance. 

Harvey Elliott’s impactful second half substitution providing assists for Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez helped Liverpool secure a 3-0 victory. The team’s ability to cope with injuries highlights their collective responsibility for success.

Wataru Endo’s return and Alexis Mac Allister’s performance also stood out emphasizing their potential partnership. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s early substitution due to injury is a concern but Liverpool’s forward line including Diogo Jota, Diaza and Nunez demonstrated their effectiveness.

With Mohamed Salah set to return Liverpool’s attacking prowess is expected to increase.
