News broke during the recording of the Liverpool.com podcast that Joe Gomez has picked up an injury in England training this morning, Although the extent of the problem has yet to be made clear, there are fears it could be significant. And with Virgil van Dijk sidelined long term, that means Joel Matip is set to be Liverpool's only fit senior centre-back. So what do the Reds, who also lost right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester City, as well as having concerns over stand-in centre-back Fabinho, do now? Dan Morgan, Joel Rabinowitz and Mark Wakefield attempt to answer that question as they react to the breaking news. But before that, they take stock of Liverpool's season so far, picking out the players they are most pleased and disappointed with, as well as taking a wider look at the Premier League.
