Leicester defender Wout Faes had an evening to forget as Liverpool ended the year by closing the gap to the Premier League's top four.

“It’s all about getting three points and trying to get into a position in the league where we feel like we need to be and haven’t been this season," Liverpool defender Trent Alexander Arnold said. “He had some pain, hopefully nothing serious," Brentford said of Toney, who scored his 13th goal of the season.

His first outings are likely to be on a left-hand side that has lost much of its threat following the loss of Diaz and Jota to injury. As for Gakpo, Liverpool fans could be waiting a while for their first glimpse of Gakpo him in red, with the January 2 trip to Brentford currently considered an ambitious target, given the attacker had been on holiday since helping the Netherlands to the World Cup quarter-finals. In Liverpool’s favour is their ability to offer a return to England, the lengthy courting process they have undertaken, and a clear vacancy in their midfield which many of their rivals do not boast. But the key to the Reds pulling the trigger was a growing confidence that Gakpo can sustain a good chunk of that return after making the step up to the Premier League and Champions League. The likelihood of a deal was also increased by PSV making the player available once the World Cup had come to an end — and at a reasonable price. No doubt to the chagrin of his family, Julian Ward spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day thrashing out a deal to bring the Dutchman in from PSV Eindhoven.

Yes you look to next season what will happen when Diaz is back because he plays on the left wing but they can move around positions as well and if push comes to shove they’ll probably sell one of them if they can’t fit them in but I think it’s a good decision and signing." He told Sky Sports: "I think it is needed right now, that’s why I asked the question to Jurgen Klopp. Ten Hag had seen first-hand of what to expect from Gakpo but he chose to bring in Antony from Ajax in August for £85m - their second-highest buy ever behind Paul Pogba. Despite scoring more goals than Antony last term, Gakpo didn't attract as much interest from the elite European teams in the summer but an impressive World Cup campaign seemed to spark rumours. Erik ten Hag was keen to bring Gakpo to Manchester but Liverpool swooped in to sign him on a long-term deal.
