1/12Liverpool players who could leave this summer

Liverpool players who could leave this summer

Daniel Sturridge

An electric frontman just three years ago, Sturridge has now lost a bit of that spark due to persistent injury problems. However, according to Jamie Carragher, Sturridge has become irked at speculation linking him with a move away, suggesting he may yet stick around to prove himself. Survival rating: 6/10

Liverpool players who could leave this summer

Alberto Moreno

Moreno is surely in line to depart this summer, having been frozen out of the starting line-up since the opening day win at Arsenal and kept out by a makeshift left-back. Although he offers an obvious attacking threat, his lack of composure has cost Liverpool too many times in his short Anfield career. Survival rating: 2/10

Simon Mignolet

He may have won his battle with Loris Karius for the starting spot between the sticks, but both may have lost the war. Neither have convinced when given an opportunity and Mignolet is merely the man in possession. There will be concern if that’s still the case come next season’s opening weekend. Survival rating: 8/10

Liverpool players who could leave this summer

Emre Can

A player with undoubted potential, but one who has consistently under-performed. His contractual situation is a worry, too. Can’s current deal expires in the summer of 2018 and, with negotiations progressing slowly, Liverpool could be tempted to cash in. Survival rating: 7/10

Lucas Leiva

A club stalwart, a fan favourite, but a player undoubtedly coming to the end of his time at Anfield. His contract expires this summer and a renewal would be one borne out of sentiment rather than sense. Survival rating: 2/10

Loris Karius

Like Mignolet, Karius' future will depend on whether Klopp decides to enter the market for a goalkeeper for the second consecutive summer. If he does, last year's signing from Mainz will have a long road back to the first team. He is young, though, and his status as a relatively new signing could work in his favour. Survival rating: 7/10

Ragnar Klavan

Brought in as a fourth-choice centre-back last summer, Klavan shot up the pecking order following Mamadou Sakho’s disciplinary issues. Joel Matip’s injury problems saw Klavan promoted further still and, though he has put in a handful of solid displays, others have been below-par. If a new centre-back arrives and Joe Gomez’s development continues apace, Klavan will be back on the fringes. Survival rating: 7/10

Mamadou Sakho

Sakho is currently out on loan at Crystal Palace and his Anfield career looks all but over after the disciplinary problems which have dogged him. Klopp looks to have made his mind up on the defender, who would be a regular starter if he had his manager's trust. Survival rating: 1/10

Liverpool players who could leave this summer

Jon Flanagan

Local-born Flanagan is a fan favourite who only signed a new contract last season, but as an old-fashioned full-back, he is perhaps not dynamic enough for Klopp's system. A lack of minutes at loan club Burnley will not have helped his cause. Survival rating: 2/10

Andre Wisdom

Wisdom broke into Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side during the Northern Irishman's first season at the club, but his progress has stagnated. The 23-year-old may now look to build a career away from English football, having spent this season on loan at Red Bull Salzburg. Survival rating: 2/10

Lazar Markovic

Markovic seems destined to become an expensive Liverpool flop, having flattered to deceive since his £20million move from Benfica in 2014. He could yet enjoy success elsewhere however, and has shown glimpses of his undeniable talent while on loan at Hull. Survival rating: 3/10

Danny Ings

Liverpool's forgotten man has been unlucky with injuries since joining from Burnley. Ings has made just 11 starts in two years following two serious knee injuries. With any luck, Klopp will show sympathy to his beleaguered striker. Survival rating: 6/10

It’s a big game for…

Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian’s form has slipped in recent weeks but he was able to strike early against Arsenal last Saturday to clinch his first goal in six games. It could prove to be a turning point for the player as he seeks to get his season back on track. He comes up against Michael Keane on Sunday and will need a big performance if he’s to stand any chance of getting a sniff in against Burnley.

Best stat…

Liverpool have scored 19 goals in the opening 30 minutes of Premier League games this season - five more than any other club.

Player to watch...

Joey Barton. Mercurial, impulsive and pugnacious: Barton is a player who gives as good as he gets. Seemingly embroiled in controversy on a fortnightly basis, expect fireworks from the midfielder as he prepares to take on, and disrupt, Liverpool’s central unit. Despite his antics, both on and off the pitch, he continues to deliver for Burnley and will likely play a vital role for the side on Sunday.

KICK OFF

Burnley kick off to get the first half underway. Game on!

3 MINS

Following a sequence of stepovers, Mane beats his man and crosses a ball into the box. However, it's a weak delivery and it fails to beat the first Burnley man.

Joe Miles12 March 2017 16:03

5 MINS

Arfield sends a corner into the box and it falls to Boyd awkwardly on the edge of the area. He lashes at the strike, but it flies way over the target.

7 MINS

GOAL

LIVERPOOL 0 - 1 BURNLEY

Barnes opens the scoring for the visitors, assisted by a clever long ball from Lowton. That's the first goal that Burnley have scored at Anfield in any competition since 1975. They made it look simple.

Joe Miles12 March 2017 16:08

10 MINS

Barton goes to ground after falling over the top of Milner and landing awkwardly. Free kick to Burnley.
