Liverpool have a tricky period to navigate after the current international break. The Reds are scheduled to face the likes of Watford, Manchester City and Benfica once returning to action in April, as Jurgen Klopp chases silverware in numerous competitions.
The German coach will have to use his squad to get through the packed calendar, but certain players will remain central by playing virtually every match. Ahead of the bout, who looks set to act as Liverpool's key man in the coming weeks?
Upon inspection of the team's upcoming opponents, it is reasonable to highlight Virgil van Dijk as vital. He always tends to be central to victories acquired by Klopp's men but this time around, that looks set to be the case even more so than usual.
