James Milner Liverpool Darwin Nunez EPL Manchester City Andy Robertson Jordan Henderson Mohamed Salah

James Milner believes he may have found Liverpool's lucky omen ahead of the new Premier League season following the Reds' Community Shield victory over Manchester City.

The veteran midfielder has sported a new look since the Reds began their pre-season preparations at the start of this month, revealing that Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson had convinced him to persist with a beard earlier this summer.

Delighted to have won my first trophy with a beard. Might need to keep it now. #YNWA "
