Liverpool’s recent form has been sensational and if they continue playing like this between now and the end of the season then you’d have to rank them among the favourites to win next season’s Premier League title.Jurgen Klopp’s men currently sit top of the Premier League form table, having secured 25 points from a possible 30 during the second half of the campaign so far, and leapfrogged Manchester United in the actual table on Saturday after defeating Newcastle 2-0 at Anfield.Liverpool’s performances have, if anything, improved since Philippe Coutinho left the club for Barcelona in January. Virgil van Dijk, meanwhile, is now beginning to show why the Reds forked out £75 million for his services following a shaky start to his career on Merseyside.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s performances have also improved dramatically over the past couple of weeks and there’s a growing sense that this Liverpool team could achieve something special over the next season or two.Emre Can’s expected departure this summer would be a blow but, don’t forget, Naby Keita will be on his way to Anfield at the end of the season.The 23-year-old, who Liverpool attempted to bring to England in January following Coutinho’s exit, cost the Reds a cool £48 million last summer.Keita was one of the standout players in the Bundesliga last term and has been RB Leipzig’s main man again this season, despite his impending move away from the Red Bull Arena.The Guinea international has missed the past few weeks with a hamstring injury but returned for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund.Keita was deployed from the start and played the full 90 minutes as Leipzig recorded a 1-1 draw.

What Keita did against Dortmund on Saturday

It was Keita who set up the game’s opening goal, scored by Jean-Kévin Augustin midway through the first half, and the tenacious midfielder went on to record some seriously impressive statistics.

Keita will improve Liverpool's midfield

Although Liverpool already possess quality all over the pitch - with the possible exception of their goalkeeper, although Loris Karius is improving all the time - it’s hard not to feel that Keita will seriously improve the Reds’ midfield.

He appears to possess everything you'd expect to see in a top-class central midfielder: not just energy, pace and power but also technique, guile and tactical intelligence.

Liverpool fans are even more excited now

Following his performance against BVB, Liverpool fans are now even more excited to see him at Anfield next season…
