With 26 goals and 2 assists this season for the Reds, Sengalese forward Sadio Mane is in the form of his life. With man-of-the-match performances in the Round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich and the quarterfinal second leg against FC Porto, the 27-year-old has the uncanny ability to score important goals for Jurgen Klopp's men. Potent in the air as well, he is a genuine threat from set pieces.

Having finished the Premier League season with a stunning 22 goals from 35 starts, Mane shared the EPL Golden Boot with team-mate Mohammed Salah and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His 140 minutes per goal ratio is slightly better than Salah's 148 minutes per goal in the Premier League. The Firmino-Mane-Salah attacking trident is set to start against Tottenham on Saturday with Firmino having recovered from a muscular issue injury. Given that the trio have plundered 12 goals so far in the Champions League between them, the Spurs defence must watch out.
