Liverpool are cruising to their first championship in 30 years and Saturday's victory over Bournemouth was their 22nd consecutive home win — a new record in the English top flight.
And yet, amid all this, their No 9, Roberto Firmino, has not scored a single goal at Anfield in 2019-20. How remarkable is that?
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have contributed 16 and 10 in all competitions by comparison, and this highlights two things. It shows the way the Premier League champions elect to use Firmino as a link-up man and also the importance of the modern-day winger's ability to get goals and assists.
