RM Sadio Mane

Speaking of undroppable, the pyrotechnic Mane should start on the right flank again this Friday as Liverpool and Chelsea kick off the Premier League weekend.

Fresh off being given the Liverpool Player of the Month award, Mane somehow outdid himself against Leicester. A well rounded, brilliant performance saw him score and assist in the rout while doing everything from sprinting in behind and dropping between the central defenders to kick start attacks.

Mane is one of Liverpool’s ubiquitous players. Maybe because of how Klopp likes the fluid front line, but all of the players in attack are likely to pop up anywhere after midfield.

The winger will be key against Antonio Conte’s rigid defense, even if it may have David Luiz in it. (Please oh please let Mane be running at Luiz in space, I pray for that moment.)
