When Liverpool last won the league in 2019-20, Curtis Jones scored one goal and made five appearances under a Jurgen Klopp-managed side that racked up a mega 99 points. This season he has played in 33 matches under Arne Slot, scoring three goals and providing three assists.

“There’s been times when I could have moaned or could have sulked when I thought I should have played more games – but I don’t care. It’s just all about the team. I’m a Scouser, I’ve come all the way through and I’m here. I’m just taking it all in.”
