It's little wonder Luis Diaz’s return is being compared to the cavalry arriving just in time for Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s team are adrift of the Champions League places by seven points after a shocking - by their standards - Premier League campaign so far, and face Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea over the next nine days.
To say it is a defining period is an understatement with at least two victories required to keep them in the top four argument, and given their form this season then Diaz’s presence in the first team squad after a five month injury absence is huge.
