The Reds’ back four has been lavished with praise by Rio Ferdinand, who described them as ‘mouthwatering’.
Ferdinand has been particularly impressed with the central defensive partnership of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez – but then, who hasn’t been impressed with how the pair have performed this season?
Speaking as a pundit for BT Sport, the former Manchester United man said: “In terms of speed on the ground in the Premier League this season, Gomez and Van Dijk, they’re [two] of the top five pacesetters.
“This game today, you need pace to survive and these two have got it in abundance. This is a mouthwatering back four.”
