Jamie Carragher has backed Liverpool to stick with what they have this season as calls for midfield reinforcements grow - the former Liverpool man has also tipped Harvey Elliott to have a ‘huge’ season in red.
The Reds have started the new campaign slowly, drawing against Fulham and Crystal Palace, and an early pile up of injuries has been cause for concern around Merseyside. Many of those problems have been concentrated in midfield, with Thiago, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all currently sidelined - Naby Keita also missed the first two games through illness.
Jurgen Klopp still has up to six midfielders - Keita included - to pick from for Monday’s trip to Old Trafford, but all except Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho are 27 or older and that has led to calls for the Reds boss to balance an ageing midfield in what's left of the window. But while Carragher agrees the age profile needs adjusting, the former Liverpool captain doesn’t see any further arrivals this summer, predicting that the club will have something ‘lined up’ next year.
