Rio Ngumoha scored a goal and assist during Liverpool's win against Athletic Club?

However, if you were going to pick one area where they seem light, it is at centre back.

Captain Virgil van Dijk missed this fixture due to illness and should be fit for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth, live on Sky Sports, on August 15!



Harvey Elliott scored Liverpool's fourth goal vs Athletic Club

Both Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott face uncertain futures at Liverpool, but everything from their respective performances to the reception from the Anfield crowd, you wouldn't be able to tell.

The pair started in the earlier 4-1 win over Athletic Club with Nunez scoring the second, displaying his striker's instinct as he tapped home a cushioned header from Ngumoha.

The Uruguay international's involvement didn't stop there as he teed up Elliott's goal with a neat touch and pass.

Sky Sports News understands that AC Milan are the latest side to be keen on Nunez's signature, but there's no love lost for the striker who walked through the doors from Benfica for a then-club record fee.

As for Elliott, he grabbed the badge and blew a kiss to the crowd, which may provide some indication as to where his head is at on his future at the club despite reported interest from elsewhere.
