Jurgen Klopp’s forwards have struggled for regular goals in recent weeks and drew a disappointing blank against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The likes of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez all missed excellent opportunities to score as Liverpool succumbed to a first Premier League defeat at Anfield in 18 months.

Midfielder Curtis Jones capped a woeful day in front of goal by chipping wide when one-on-one with goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Mane scored 120 goals for Liverpool at the height of the club’s success under Klopp.

It was his and Salah’s combined 37 strikes that ended a 30-year wait for a Premier League title in 2019-20, and Roberto Firmino contributed a further nine.

Liverpool have faltered while struggling to replace his output.

In a timely reminder of Mane’s ability when he was at the top of his game, Alexander-Arnold has named him as the one former team-mate he would hate to play against.

The right-back told The Overlap: “Sadio Mane is the one player that I played with that I’ve always thought, ‘I’m thankful that I didn’t have to play against him’.

“He was the perfect attacker, he had everything.

He lasted just a year at Bayern Munich and has scored only 10 goals in 26 appearances since joining Al-Nassr last summer.

He told the BBC at the time of his departure: "It was last year I took my decision to leave because I need a new challenge in my life.

"For me, it was the right time.

If you see my story, I came from a small town - my life was always a challenge, so I want to challenge myself all the time."
