Liverpool has now dropped five points in the last two matches. Problems will increase for manager Jurgen Klopp as his top players like Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah would be heading to represent their countries in the AFCON.

This past week of football has been a little unusual as many players in the Premier League were affected by Covid-19 and a lot of matches in the past week had to be canceled as the teams were not able to file full teams.
