Some Liverpool fans on Twitter are lauding Sadio Mane after the club released some footage of the star in training.

Liverpool are gearing up for a massive clash with Chelsea this weekend.

With both sides winning their opening two Premier League games, something is going to have to give on Saturday evening.

Mane has had a quiet enough start to the new Premier League season, but the former Southampton livewire, a £30 million signing in 2016, is looking electric at the Axa Training Centre.

Here’s how some Liverpool fans reacted to footage of the star:

A third successive win for Jurgen Klopp’s side on Saturday would really get the fans excited – and for good reason.

Because if Liverpool can still beat sides like Chelsea, one of the pre-season favourites to lift the Premier League trophy come May, it’ll remind English football that the Reds are still a massive force.

Klopp’s troops could only muster a top-four finish last term – and needed the final day before confirming it – in what was a pretty dismal title defence, after blowing away the competition 12 months earlier.

But with Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez back in action, alongside the £36 million addition of Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool are finally Liverpool again and Chelsea could discover that first hand on the weekend.
