Gary Neville believes Premier League defenders will target Darwin Nunez after his red card against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
The Uruguay international, 23, was sent off on his Anfield debut after clashing heads with Joachim Andersen during the second half. The score was 1-0 to Palace at that point and Liverpool needed a stunning goal from Luis Diaz to claim a 1-1 draw.
That result leaves the Reds four points behind main Premier League title rivals Manchester City. Although it's still early days, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be concerned about dropping too far behind Pep Guardiola's side in the hunt for success.
