Like Mane, Liverpool did miss forward Philippe Coutinho when he was out injured during December.

The Brazilian international suffered an ankle injury in the win over Sunderland back in November, and then didn’t feature again in Klopp’s team until their semi-final first leg defeat to Southampton on January 11.

Coutinho scored five and laid on five assists prior to injury, and although he hasn’t re-discovered his early season form since returning to the side, it’s surely only a matter of time before he does.

Getting this front three back together and firing will be integral to Liverpool’s chances of catching Chelsea.
