Liverpool have returned to winning ways in recent weeks, even if their performances have flattered to deceive at points.
Arne Slot's men have won four on the bounce in all competitions, including big away wins against Inter and Spurs.

However, all four games have been tense affairs, and Liverpool are not scoring goals with any particular ease of late.
With Mo Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations (and his future still somewhat up in the air), injuries to Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak could not have been more inopportune, and Slot may seek to bring in an extra body in attack during the January transfer window.
One of the options that they have been linked with most frequently is Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, who is in high demand across the league.

Liverpool receive boost in race for Antoine Semenyo
Manchester rivals United and City are seen as the front runners for Antoine Semenyo's signature, with the Ghanaian almost certain to leave Bournemouth next month.
A £65 million release clause in Semenyo's contract is active until January 10th, with bids expected to rush in when the window opens in three days.

United and City were said to be the front runners, with David Ornstein of the Athletic reporting over the past few days that City are Semenyo's preferred destination and have taken the lead in the race for his signature.
However, a fresh report from the UK suggests Liverpool have not dropped out of that race just yet.
The Telegraph report that Liverpool remain in the hunt for Semenyo, and Bournemouth are prepared for the transfer saga to take a late twist.

The BBC, too, suggest that Liverpool remain in the race and that sporting director Richard Hughes' links to Bournemouth have kept hope alive.
Semenyo is said to be eager to have his future confirmed as soon as possible, per the BBC's report.
Though City remain favourites, it appears as though Liverpool remain hopeful of obtaining Semenyo's signature.

The 25-year-old would be an asset to any Premier League team, having already scored nine goals and provided three assists in just 17 games for Bournemouth this season.
The arrival of Antoine Semenyo would be transformative for Manchester City, United, or Liverpool. If he has his way, it will likely not be long until we know his final destination.
