“You look at the likes of Lazar and Emre, a lot of the new players are settling in well and we’re seeing that out on the field.”

Can joined the Reds on a £9.75 million move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and has started in Liverpool’s last 12 games but did struggle for playing playing time early on.
The 21-year-old was used sparingly for much of the early part of the season and also struggled with injuries.
Can was initially signed as a midfielder but has adapted well to his new role as a defender.
The former Bayer player did play in defensive roles from time to time in Germany but was primarily a midfielder.
Can has made a total of one goal and an assist in 22 appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season.
