Joleon Lescott has warned Sadio Mane's departure will be a 'huge loss' for Liverpool this season as they battle it out with Manchester City for the Premier League title once again.
The Reds were beaten to the honours by just a single point last term after a dramatic final day. This time, they'll have to fight without Mane, who spent six years at the club before he left for Bayern Munich earlier in the window.
Despite some key additions to the squad in Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay, Lescott says it will be 'more difficult' for Jurgen Klopp's side to win the title this season.
