#2 Philippe Coutinho is back!
After the whole summer saga, the Brazilian was given a first start of the season and he reminded exactly why Liverpool valued him so highly and rejected a number of €100 million plus bids for the playmaker.
In his previous two appearances from the bench, Coutinho had looked rusty but against Leicester, he looked assured on the ball and gave glimpses of his last season self.
Coutinho was one of the best players in the first half with his nimble feet coupled with his smart link-up play troubling the Leicester defenders. The Brazilian was looking like the player who would conjure something for Liverpool but failed to do so at the end. He was taken off at halftime which surprised quite a few but with three more away games coming up in the next 10 days, Liverpool needed the 25-year-old to have ample rest to fire on all cylinders.
