Liverpool will spend the month of January without Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, their two main offensive assets.
The fight for the Premier League title promises to be thrilling until the end of the 2023-2024 season. While five teams stand within just 6 points, Liverpool currently leads the way with 45 points in 20 matches, a far cry from last season missed by the Reds, who finished in fifth place in the league.
Salah and Alexander-Arnold on fire
Performances that they owe in particular to Mohamed Salah And Trent Alexander-Arnold, both of whom have performed very well since the start of the financial year and which allow the Mersey club to be ambitious for 2024, especially as they are still involved in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League. The Egyptian international is as usual ultra-decisive with 18 goals and 9 assists in 27 matches in all competitions, he is also the top scorer and the best passer in the Premier League.

For his part, the English full-back, despite his defensive shortcomings, always lets his magical right foot and his knowledge of the pass speak, with him also distributing 9 caviars and a significant offensive influence. The performances of the two men are reflected in the figures and in creation, they have few equivalents. Salah is in fact the player who has created the most clear chances in the English championship with 17 potential offerings. In second place, we find… Alexander-Arnold, who has created 12 big chances. Flattering statistics but which have cause for concern for Jürgen Klopp. Having left for the CAN with Egypt, Salah will be out at least until the end of January, while Alexander-Arnold suffered a knee injury against Arsenal in the Cup and is expected to be out for three weeks.
