This, while it might not seem like all that much, could be the difference between them coming away with the Premier League or the Champions League this term.

The striker was one of the best in the Premier League last season, and with players such as Mohamed Salah and Wirtz now around him, it feels like he could become even better.
However, while speaking on the Rest is Football Podcast, Micah Richards shared that he thinks Isak could be used on the left wing on occasion by Slot this term.
“I’m going to tell you now, Isak is going to end up playing on the left in some games, like he did for Newcastle,” he said.
“And Isak loves that left-hand side anyway.
Isak is going to be the number nine, isn’t he, going forward.
But at times, Isak is going to play on the left instead of Gakpo.”
Ever since Isak’s transfer was announced, questions have been asked about who is the most likely of Isak and Hugo Ekitike to start as Liverpool’s number nine.
