Luton Town striker Elijah Adebayo, who stands 193cm tall, has made his mark in the Premier League this season, scoring nine Premier League goals in 23 appearances. Which makes him the team's top scorer.
He has scored five goals with his right foot and four with his head – with the goals coming against good teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Brighton (two), where Luton may not have possession of the ball as much as they would like and have to rely on set-pieces.
When Luton were scheduled to face Manchester United on Sunday, Adebao was initially in the line-up, but before the start of the match it was announced that he would be replaced by Cawley Woodrow. The reason for this is that he felt a tear in his hamstring during the warm-up.
Not enough for Wednesday's game
We won't see the power forward at Anfield on Wednesday. This was confirmed by head coach Rob Edwards in his press conference on Tuesday.
-We're still not sure how bad it is. He will meet someone who will look up to him this afternoon. I hope it will not be a matter of weeks, but rather a matter of days. “I don't want to put a timeline on it, because sometimes you might have new hamstring problems,” he says.
Woodrow, who played against United, is ready to play again. Sunday's 2-1 loss to Erik Ten Hag's side was the first time the 29-year-old has started a game this season. He has only come on as a substitute in the past, and has a scoring advantage in the league. And in the cups he has two goals.
– Cawley is ready again if elected. I was happy with the way he played that day. It was a big moment for him when he came in late and played. We have some good options even if we are missing key players. No matter who we hire, we believe they will do well.
There are also four other players out of action. Among them is Scottish striker Jacob Brown, who scored two goals in 19 Premier League matches this season. He did not play in the last five league matches.
– Jacob Brown would not be an option. He had surgery to use on his knee.
Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Mads Andersen (calf) and Tom Lockyer (heart) will also not participate.
Liverpool – Luton Town will be played on Wednesday at 20.30 and will be shown on V Sport PL and Viaplay.
