Nemanja Matic emphasises importance of momentum

The Reds have put together a run of three victories in all competitions since losing the campaign opener to Crystal Palace, with a spot in the last-eight of the Carabao Cup already secured.

However, the 32-year-old knows that he and his team-mates will have to extend that sequence further – starting with Tottenham on Sunday – if we hope to challenge for silverware at home and in Europe in 2020/21.

“I always like to say the team who is fighting for the title needs to have that run always of five or six games before you drop some points, that’s normal, no team can win every game,” Matic told club media.
