Liverpool vs Manchester City: 5 Point Preview

#4 Liverpool’s winter transfer window

Coutinho has joined Barcelona

While The Reds started the new year and the transfer window with a world-record defender signing in Virgil van Dijk – with his debut goal making fans believe that 2018 might finally be Liverpool’s year, the inevitable struck a day later when Barcelona came knocking to take away another one of Liverpool’s prized attacking possession, Philippe Coutinho.

Even though Coutinho would not have played this high-stakes encounter owing to a thigh injury that he sustained, a departure of such magnitude is certain to affect the morale of the squad.

With no replacements sought so far, it would be interesting to see which member of the squad makes the step up.
