Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has hinted that the departure of Sadio Mane is a potential reason behind Liverpool ’s slump this season.

One man who is firmly involved in the title race, however, is Man City right-back Walker. Asked by BBC Sport to name the three toughest opponents of his career, he selected former Reds forward Mane.
