The BBC pundit has also predicted Liverpool to finish third in the Premier League this season.

“Sadio Mane is an excellent signing who can just ghost past defenders and he reminds me a little bit of Luis Suarez,” Sinclair told BBC Sport.

“Liverpool look like they mean business – they blew away some top teams under Klopp last season and he has had a bit more time with the players now to help them find some consistency.”
