That leaves us 3 at the back, mate. After grafting during the lockdown, to create a better defence, I can’t see DS abandoning all that work. Hourihane as an impact sub, with a back 4, looks more likely. There’s also Traore to throw into the mix.

Not sure if Barkley will start against the dippers on Sunday (cup-tied tonight), as his fitness may not be up to 90mins v the rampaging scouse machine.

Connors gametime may well be reduced to other injuries and the League cup.
