Harvey Elliott on playing in midfield, competing at LFC and more

Harvey Elliott is relishing the challenge of adapting to the deeper-lying midfield position in which he shone again versus Burnley on Saturday.

The No.67 arrived at Liverpool as a versatile attacker capable of playing across the front line and, after a productive season on loan with Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, is currently being deployed in a role in Jürgen Klopp’s central three.

Elliott made his first Premier League start for the Reds alongside Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita in midfield at the weekend and earned plaudits for the maturity of his display.

Having missed out on an assist as Mohamed Salah’s effort was disallowed earlier in the contest, Elliott was then instrumental in the sweeping move that saw Sadio Mane seal a 2-0 win at Anfield.
