Peter Crouch has revealed his preferred deep-lying Liverpool midfielder and says the Reds are favourites to complete an historic Premier League and Champions League double this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s men made it three Champions League Group B wins out of three by beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 on Tuesday night. Mohamed Salah’s brace along with a Naby Keita goal saw them edge out 10-man Atletic, who had Antoine Griezmann sent off in the second half.
It means the Reds, who are starting to show the form that helped them win the Premier League title in 2019/20, are now 21 games unbeaten in all competitions.
Liverpool were not at their fluent best at the Wanda Metropolitano, but they were good enough to sink a battling Atletico side managed by Diego Simeone.
Crouch believes Klopp’s side is good enough to win a famous Double, but he does see weaknesses and believes the Reds are a better side when Fabinho plays rather than Naby Keita.
