Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho could land Jurgen Klopp the Premier League title

That’s according to Jamie Redknapp who believes the Brazilian is a magician with the ball at his feet.

Coutinho has been in stunning form for the Reds in recent matches and has five goals and five assists in his 11 appearances so far this season.

He told Sky Sports: “The Brazilian magician is my favourite Liverpool player to watch right now.

“He's the one I look forward to seeing. I'd have loved to have played with someone like him.

“He's only 24 but he's such a talented player and he's become Liverpool's talisman.

“When Liverpool are struggling, he's the one they look to and more often than not he takes the game by the scruff of the neck.

“When it comes to picking a combined Premier League XI, there's some fierce competition for who you'd have in that playmaker role.

“David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Mesut Ozil are all brilliant players. But on his day Coutinho is as good as anyone.

“Coutinho is a key part of that potent Liverpool attack, which has made the Reds title contenders this season.

“Of course, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise they have problems defensively and when their magicians don't turn up, can Liverpool shut out the opposition and keep a clean sheet?”

Liverpool return to Premier League action on Sunday when they take on Watford at Anfield.

The Reds are currently third in the table on goal difference with Manchester City and Arsenal ahead of them.
