The departure of Philippe Coutinho last week has left many to wonder if Liverpool's top four push might be dented and if their hand may be forced to dip into the transfer market. Many names have been making the rounds but if this performance was anything to go by, Liverpool have portrayed that they need not look for a player purchase.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put in a remarkable shift in the red shirt against City, scoring a goal and assisting another. Regular game time has been hard to come by for him so far and this could hypothetically open the door to a place in the starting line-up for him.
