Liverpool's Carabao Cup win over Chelsea marked a turning point for Andoni Iraola's squad, with signs of improvement and growth in the team's performance. Iraola is ironing out issues and learning which players to rely on. The win was a penalty shootout victory, indicating a closely contested match. The team's progress is expected to continue as Iraola addresses the remaining issues.
Ryan Gravenberch's position in Liverpool's midfield is under threat from Trey Nyoni following his poor performance against Chelsea. Gravenberch was criticized for his decision-making and struggled throughout the match. In contrast, Nyoni performed well, showing confidence and comfort in his 82 minutes on the pitch. This has put pressure on Gravenberch's spot in the starting lineup.
Iraola faces a decision for Sunday's clash with Arsenal, with Dominik Szoboszlai potentially still out. Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz are likely to start, leaving a spot between Gravenberch and Nyoni. Nyoni's performance against Chelsea suggests he is a strong contender for the spot, potentially earning his first Premier League start. Gravenberch's recent form has been a concern, making Nyoni a likely choice.

Source context
Andoni Iraola has steadily grown into his role at Liverpool, with Wednesday’s Carabao Cup penalty shootout win over Chelsea the latest in a growing line of impressive wins for the Basque. Though things have not always been pretty, the signs are clearly there that Iraola is beginning to build something at Anfield, and as he starts to iron out several of the issues still plaguing the squad, that feeling will hopefully continue to develop nicely. With each passing game, Iraola – and the supporters watching his team – learn more about which players he can really rely on, and which ones may ultimately have a diminishing future at Anfield.
