Virgil Van Dijk leaned on his experience to effectively defend open spaces with the absence of a true defensive midfielder ahead of the back four, but as the full-backs bombed on and the midfield was vacated, it was his Liverpool team-mate Ibrahima Konate who looked to struggle with the vast acres of Anfield grass he had to cover.

Arne Slot has added eight new signings to the Liverpool squad that he guided to a Premier League title last term. Giovanni Leoni became the latest addition to the squad last week, arriving from Parma after a £26million deal was agreed with the Serie A outfit.

As a respected leader and captain for Palace, playfully referred to as "Uncle Marc" by his England team-mates because of his maturity and temperament, he fits into the culture Liverpool have fostered over this recent period of success.

Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.
