Where are the big names on the Liverpool team-sheet? The game-changers, the shirt-sellers, the crowd-pullers, the superstars?
You couldn't find any in the line-up against Exeter City in the FA Cup at the weekend, but that is easily explained with a glance at manager Jurgen Klopp's injury list. The problem at Anfield is that there will be barely any more stardust in the teams that play Arsenal on Wednesday and Manchester United on Sunday.
The absence of Philippe Coutinho only underlines the dearth of talent. There will be a dash of potential (Jordon Ibe), lashings of honest but dull application (James Milner) and even a helping of comic relief (the goalkeepers).
