After a disappointing stalemate with Fulham, Liverpool bounced back with back-to-back triumphs against Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola guided the Reds to secure a narrow 1-0 win on his return to Dean Court. But the trust the Spaniard has shown in academy graduates Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas must boost the spirit of loaned-out youngsters, determined to stake a claim in his long-term plans.

Although a few retained their starting spots, the rest should push themselves for more involvement after the international break.

A trip to forget for the 18-year-old, with Genk suffering a 3-0 defeat in Bruges against Club Brugge. However, he faced 2 xGOT, thus underperforming between the sticks. Genk are struggling in the middle of the league table, and their defensive frailty has made his job in goal harder.

Was supposed to start against Athletic Club, but the game got postponed due to torrential rain. Despite appearing as a second-half substitute in their 1-3 defeat to Villarreal, the Austrian centre-half impressed in limited minutes, with timely tackles, interceptions and defensive contributions. Dominated the duels and maintained his passing composure at the back.

Made his debut against PSG as a late substitute. Was once again deployed around the 78th-minute mark against Auxerre in search of a winning goal. But they conceded in the closing minutes, as the young attacking ace failed to contribute after coming on for Pathe Mboup.

Hartberg showed great spirit, netting two late goals to secure a 3-3 draw with LASK. Nevertheless, the young shot-stopper should have done better on a couple of occasions. The young Hungarian was beaten twice from distance, and the visitors’ third came around the hour mark at his near post.

Cardiff were back to winning ways, clinching a commanding 3-1 win against Charlton Athletic. Joel Bagan remains the preferred choice down the left, with the Liverpool left-back introduced as a late substitute to see out the game.

After a stalemate with Wigan, the Owls once again failed to find the net in their draw with Stockport County. Morrison lost his right-wing slot to Davis Keillor-Dunn, but replaced the Englishman midway through the second half. Could not make much of a difference as he lost his duels and dribbles in and around the attacking third.
