Liverpool Squad Health Report

An availability story around Liverpool FC is worth only as much as the margin it eats into. Here is that margin.

Who Carries the Load

Missing Alexander Isak, who has 4 of their 7 goals is not an even loss across a squad. Liverpool FC have scored 7 in 5 β€” 1.4 a game β€” and a side that far down one supply line drops points before the formation ever changes.

Alexander Isak is their entry in the division's scoring charts on 4 β€” 57% of everything the side has scored.

Reading the Run

Their last five read no recorded run. Availability shows up there first, usually a week or two before it shows up in the table.
