Alisson injury suggests it may take quite a bit of time before Liverpool get back to their defensive level, the new reserve goalie Adrian just got a huge boost but I still expect more defensive issues.
Like Peter has already hinted last night, their biggest problem right now is that they play Southampton away so soon, there was already an opportunity to create a free swing trade soon as the game was approaching extra time. Can only speculate at this point on how the game will unfold but you can already more or less put together a team that should start for Liverpool, based on who didn't start Chelsea and who got subbed, and then decide whether that team is worthy of being priced at 1.50 and whether there's any drift potential. They should be fine in midfield, but their back line and their attacking trio could include some surprises.

The squad should get even weaker with Lovren expecting to leave for Italy, he's not happy being 4th choice CB. Klopp apparently wants to free up space for van den Berg and Hoever to develop. Fabinho can cover at CB and fullback in a pinch as well, like he did last season. Ox, Lallana and Brewster are practically considered new signings after long-term injuries so it's still a very good squad.
Not sure if Lallana is up to much anymore. Ox has been off a long time, Brewster is a kid. Its a lot to ask those guys to step into the team and level of the others. Saw the difference Firmino made when he came onKai wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 11:28 amThe squad should get even weaker with Lovren expecting to leave for Italy, he's not happy being 4th choice CB.

He's been back in training for a week and a half but not 100% training, the kid is barely fit so it's far from ideal.
Not sure if anyone posted before but this is a good website in general regarding injuries, it's also possible to track teams/players there to get alerts etc.

The press conferences are of course broadcasted live on the club's Youtube channel.

Any sites that post up the team line up as soon as they're available on match days?
Yeah, AFAIK official club Twitter feeds put the lineups out first. Premier League teams try to be precise and release lineups right at the hour mark before kickoff for league games, sometimes earlier for non-league games, while European teams release lineups at random times. Overreactions are very commonplace, like everywhere else.
