That being said, Liverpool are down to their last two defenders. If Vigil went down they have a couple 17 y/o and a 22 y/o that they just recalled from loan who wasn't getting time in Bundesliga 2. But they need bodies. Most likely Henderson or Wijnaldum are the backup CBs. And that would be robbing Peter to pay Paul, because they only have two senior backups at midfield (Lallana and Milner) with Ox and Fabinho out.

It's very likely that Liverpool will play six more games before they Lovren, Matip, Ox and/or Fabinho come back. Then Champions League picks back up.

It's about this time last year when Liverpool dropped points in 5 out of 7 matches - with a 9 point lead. And they were relatively healthy. The league is simply a grind.
