'Nunez can make six chances by himself'

Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders has been talking to the media about having plenty of forwards to choose from, players "stepping up" to the plate and Darwin Nunez causing "chaos" this season.

Liverpool will take a slender lead over Fulham into their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday.

Lijnders says the Reds have an "angry" Diogo Jota to call upon as part of a thriving group of forwards.

He said: "That's the sign of a good squad and of the character, passion and ambition of the players we have. That includes all of them.

"I'm really happy with how Darwin [Nunez], Lucho [Luis Diaz], Diogo [Jota], Harvey [Elliott] and Cody [Gakpo] all step up in different moments."
