da aposte e ganhe: Liverpool are set to be without Joe Gomez for around six weeks, so who should partner Virgil van Dijk in defence?
Liverpool suffered a huge setback this week, as the hard-fought win at Burnley was overshadowed by an injury to Gomez.
The Reds’ star student went down under a tough tackle from Ben Mee, and the club have confirmed he will miss the busy Christmas period with a fractured leg.

The 21 year-old has been sensational so far this season, and this is the absolute worst time of the season to lose key players, but Jurgen Klopp does have two experienced internationals waiting in the wings.
Dejan Lovren certainly has mistakes in him, but the World Cup finalist has been slowly improving since the arrival of Klopp.
He has taken loads of stick from both Liverpool fans and rivals since his move to Merseyside, but had his best spell of form in a red shirt towards the end of last season.
Then there is Joel Matip, who partnered van Dijk during Wednesday’s win at Burnley.
Matip is fantastic in the air, but he has yet to prove he can perform consistently in the Premier League, and Lovren’s experience should make him the clear choice for Klopp.
So, Liverpool fans, which player would you rather see take Gomez’s place? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
