Rudd, Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Brady, Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Jarvis, Hoolahan and Mbokani. Afterwards he needed a little bit longer to recover and now we have to see if we have enough time to bring him back.

Worryingly for Alex Neil’s side, they now have the same record at this stage as they did in their last Premier League campaign before they were relegated.
Liverpool are understood to have had a bid rejected for Shakhtar Donetsk’s free-scoring forward Alex Teixeira, but are optimistic of still getting a deal done.
What have the managers been saying? .
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will revert to his strongest line-up having made numerous changes for the midweek FA Cup win over Exeter.
“We need to keep them here and work with them because football is not individual – you have to develop individually but also as a team and it is not always important to impress in a one-on-one”, said Klopp.
Klopp is reluctant to use the youngsters in high-pressure moments at the end of games but believes their time will come. It’s for that reason that they’ve been one of the more active teams in the transfer market so far, acquiring forward Steven Naismith, right-back Ivo Pinto and centre-back Timm Klose.
“I am happy about other things”.
Tough game here but with Norwich at home at 10/3 I think the Canaries represnt plenty of value here and I’m going to take Norwich the home underdogs to pull off an upset here and pile more pressure on an underperforming Liverpool.
Ever since making his come back from injury, the Liverpool captain has been a picture of consistency and industriousness.
“Everyone who sees him play sees what big skills he has but he has a lot to work on”.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have just two wins in their last eight league games, while the Canaries have lost their last three games in all competitions and conceded three in each game.
However Lallana will possibly not be involved after the midfielder picked up a problem during last weekend’s defeat to Manchester United. They can not afford another off-day against a Norwich City side who are capable of frustrating top sides and have added the energetic Steven Naismith.
