Liverpool march on in all competitions this season. Not content with topping the Premier League and Champions League tables, the Reds booked their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after a much-changed team beat Southampton 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Arne Slot will have been encouraged by the performances of Wataru Endo, Tyler Morton and Jarell Quansah during the game, with Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez on the scoresheet for the Reds.
So what can Liverpool expect from the fringe stars who played such an important role in the victory over Saints? Our LFC jury have their say.
To say it’s been a breath of fresh air having Harvey Elliott back in the side again would be a massive understatement. Although The Reds have been flying without the 21-year-old during his absence through injury, since returning, he’s shown exactly what we’ve been missing by way of his sheer creativity and precision in front of goal.
Elliott was unlucky not to net a wonderful curling effort against Fulham during his appearance last weekend as it bent agonisingly past the post, but got a deserved goal with against Southampton during mid-week which helped us progress into the semi-final of the League Cup.
