TBR’s View – Evans, Pereira and Tielemans are all players who could improve traditional ‘top six’ clubs

The club has a clear recruitment strategy, which is not on evidence elsewhere, and Brendan Rodgers is doing a great job of unlocking their potential.

Liverpool away will be the real acid test of a squad which has perhaps lacked a touch of conviction away from home against the very best sides this term – but the class is there to get a result.
