Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum believes teammate Sadio Mane is starting to show he is one of the best in the world.
The Senegal international has endured a stop-start season so far with a three-match suspension followed by a hamstring problem which saw him sidelined for a month.

In addition to his goals he is also…

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has said his first experience of playing as a central defender at Brighton on Saturday was “really difficult,” but felt he settled into the role.
With Joel Matip injured and Ragnar Klavan only fit enough for a place on the bench, manager Jurgen Klopp fielded a three-man defence consisting of Dejan Lovren and midfielders Emre Can and Wijnaldum.
Wijnaldum said the unorthodox lineup worked because Liverpool’s attacking dominance in a 5-1 win ensured there was…

Liverpool blasted Maribor 7-0 and thanks to Sevilla’s loss, now top Group E.
Jurgen Klopp revels in Liverpool’s seven-goal output at Maribor, a club record for a European away match.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah scored twice and provided an assist as his side cruised to a 7-0 win over Maribor. Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has said the players always believed the goals would return despite a frustrating run of form.
Since beating Arsenal 4-0 on Aug. 27 to take their early-season tally to 14 in five matches, Jurgen Klopp’s side then scored eight in eight, with three of them coming in one game against Leicester.

With the 2017/18 Premier League season around the corner, Stevie Nicol predicts who will finish in the top 4.
Steve Nicol believes that Man City’s big summer spending has made the club favourites to win the Premier League.
With Man United and Chelsea back in the Champions League, will this year’s competition now be tighter than ever?
First impressions matter but, in Premier League terms, they can also be deceptive. England’s top flight has seen many players initially disappoint having moved to a new club, only to then thrive — see Robert Pires or Didier Drogba, for example.
Likewise, though, there are also those who look sensational initially but prove to be one-season wonders; Michu and Roque Santa Cruz were superb upon their arrival, only to entirely underwhelm after that.
Here are three players approaching their second season…

Jurgen Klopp is highly satisfied with Liverpool’s showing against Man City, and the expected nature of high-profile games.
Manchester City and Liverpool ran rampant on each other for 90 minutes as penalty decisions and missed chances meant a 1-1 draw.
Georginio Wijnaldum has said Adam Lallana received support in the Liverpool dressing room after his close-range miss against Manchester City.
Lallana wasted a gilt-edged late chance to score in Sunday’s Premier League draw at the Etihad Stadium when he miskicked in front of goal.
It was a moment for the England midfielder to forget but teammate Wijnaldum was quick to point out Liverpool had plenty of let-offs too.

It’s been a feature of the season. All five league defeats so far have come against teams with at least one eye on the relegation battle, while Liverpool are still unbeaten against the elite. It’s a peculiar condition that has kept experts guessing as to the reasons why.
On Sunday, even a fortuitous equaliser…
