Suarez left Liverpool to join Barcelona in 2014 after coming agonisingly close to helping the Reds to their first Premier League title in his last season. And Gerrard moved to the MLS a year later leaving Liverpool without a recognised superstar. But Mignolet believes the lack of a leading star player is exactly what has made Liverpool a tough outfit to beat under Jurgen Klopp.

“We’ve got 25 players in the dressing room but in the end there are only 11 who can play, so there are always going to be a few guys disappointed each weekend,” Mignolet told Liverpool's official website. “We are fighting for the same objective, though, and I think that is our strength this season: we perform as a team. “When I first came here it was more about certain individuals, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge were scoring all the goals and Steven Gerrard was still playing. Now the danger comes from the strength and unity of the squad.
