At the beginning of the campaign, many Liverpool fans were pleased to discover that Jurgen Klopp was planning to integrate Harvey Elliott into his senior squad for the new season.
It came after a standout spell on loan at Blackburn Rovers last year where he became a key member of their starting 11, finishing the term having scored seven goals whilst registering a further 11 assists.
It was expected that this year Elliott would act as Mohamed Salah’s understudy, given that the bulk of his senior minutes had came in a right-sided attacking role.
