Loads of Liverpool fans have been giving their verdict on the centre back situation after Joe Gomez’s injury, and 66 per cent of polled fans want Dejan Lovren to replace the youngster.

Liverpool had an absolutely perfect week, beating Everton, Burnley and Bournemouth in the space of six days, but the injury to Gomez was a huge setback.

The 21 year-old fractured his lower leg under a challenge from Ben Mee at Turf Moor, and is expected to be out for around six weeks, meaning he will miss the entire Christmas period.

One of Lovren or Joel Matip will now have to step up, and it seems like fans prefer Lovren despite Matip’s back-to-back solid performances.

The lanky 27 year-old played well at Turf Moor and at the Vitality Stadium, two really tough outings for his first real testing action of the season.

Lovren had an excellent end to last season however and a brilliant performance at the World Cup, and the voting is firmly in the Croatian’s favour.

The 29 year-old has missed the last few games through injury, but will he walk straight back into the team when he returns?
