So in part one of this series, I wrote about Liverpool’s top five moments in their Premier League season, from my perspective. With the UCL, it’s maybe a little easier, and at the same time, a little harder, to produce a top five. On the one hand, it’s very easy because there are pretty much five standout moments in the campaign – so I’m indeed going to go with something along the lines of the five moments that you might …

Liverpool: Alisson, Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner, Origi, Mané, Salah Watford: Foster, Janmaat, Cathcart, Mariappa, Masina, Hughes, Doucourê, Capoue, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Deeney Jurgen Klopp is clearly trying to obscure Naby Keita as a sort of secret weapon for the final ten matches of the season.
