Liverpool's recent surge in performance has rekindled their momentum in the battle for Champions League qualification. Their three-match winning streak, with their 5-2 victory over West Ham United on Saturday extending that run, has brought them within three points of both Manchester United and Aston Villa, who occupy third and fourth place respectively.

Despite securing maximum points from three games, glaring issues continue to plague the reigning Premier League champions. The absence of a robust midfield presence and ongoing difficulties with set-pieces remain some of the most pressing concerns for Arne Slot's team.

Among their problems is the form of Cody Gakpo, who is experiencing his worst season at the club since his £45million move to Anfield in 2022. His goal drought and lacklustre performances have led to calls for the Dutchman to be benched. Daily Star Sport delves into Slot's views on his struggling winger, as well as a former Liverpool star hitting back at the criticism he's faced.
