The Reds have shown the same level of seriousness as they did last season in their quest to become champions of England for the first time in 30 years.

The gegenpress style of play favoured by the manager; Juergen Klopp is one that demands forward motion at all times. As a result, the team’s inverted wingers; Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane stretch defenders with their runs and movement.

Roberto Firmino's movement which draws out the opposing centre-backs often creates space for the two wingers to run into. This means that opposing defenders are pushed to make last-ditch interceptions and blocks; the type that leads to corner kicks.

This systems also allow the fullbacks; Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold the license to bomb forward and send crosses in. This means more corners for the side especially against opponents who defend in low blocks.

Liverpool are already averaging 4 corner-kicks per game and this could increase over the next round of games.
