Liverpool currently sit top of the Premier League table.

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has been instrumental for his side during their surge to the top of the Premier League table, and he spoke to reporters following the Reds’ 6-1 win over Watford yesterday, outlining what Jürgen Klopp expects of his players, as quoted by ESPN.

The Brazilian has appeared in all 11 of Liverpool’s league outings so far this season, scoring five goals and chipping in with five assists.

Speaking to the media, Coutinho explained how player movement is a key part of what the former Borussia Dortmund manager expects from his Liverpool team, as quoted by ESPN:

“The manager asks us to move a lot and that’s what we tried to do in the game and create space for our teammates. That’s what we tried to do today. We had a good win, it’s good for us and we are happy with that. My target is to play well and help my teammates, contribute in the games and learn a lot, and that’s it.”

Liverpool now have to wait until November 19th before they play their next game, due to the two-week international break – which has undoubtedly come at the wrong time for the Merseyside outfit.

Klopp’s men are heading into a period of fixtures that looks extremely kind, on paper at least.

From their next five games, the average league position of their opponents is 15th.

The Premier League is one of the most unpredictable competitions in world football, however, so Liverpool will have to be on top of their game if they are to continue their impressive run and remain at the summit.
