After the great season that the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez is having, he has become a vital man for the good functioning of the team, and although players like Diogo Jota or Cody Gakpo, who have been in charge of taking Núñez's place when Jürgen Klopp gives him a well-deserved rest or physical issues, although both the Dutchman and the Portuguese have good numbers, they do not compare to those of Núñez.

Most of the Reds' players seem to be in great form, and at least the team's strikers have kept up with acceptable goalscoring quotas, as Jota has contributed 17 goals in total, while Gakpo 13 and Nunez the striker of the moment is way ahead of the two as he has a total of 23 contributions to goal, being the Reds' best striker and now looks like he could also be a talisman of victories for Liverpool.

Liverpool's form has made them an unbeatable side this season, as they have suffered just two Premier League defeats and remain the second-best defence in the competition. However, the Reds' defeats have come during games in which Darwin Nunez has not been in the starting line-up, as the Reds' first defeat of the season came against Tottenham, a game in which Nunez was unable to play due to a knee problem.

Then there were the Europa League games where the Reds failed to win on their visits to France and Belgium, losing 3-2 to Toulouse and 2-1 to Union SG, in games where Núñez only played 44 minutes between the two games. Finally there is the match against Arsenal, where the Reds where the Uruguayan came on as a 58th minute substitute. So the absence of Nunez in the starting line-up could be crucial to win some matches.
