Liverpool welcome back former striker Danny Ings on Saturday, as in form Southampton look to upset the odds at Anfield.
Ings spent four years at Liverpool, but found his time at the club severely hampered by injuries, making only a handful of appearances before making the permanent jump to Southampton following a successful loan spell.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's fixture, host Josh Williams took a closer look at why the striker's Liverpool career never quite got going.
“He's scoring goals, and that's not a surprise to me, he's always been that player,” explained Williams.
“He's fifth in the league for expected goals per shot, excluding penalties and based on strikers, which suggests that whenever he does get a shot away it's in a good location and it's not really difficult to score.
“He's always got into good locations, he has that poaching instinct, getting good shots away in good locations. It was always just a case of keeping him fit.
“When we sold him and got the price for him we did, I was happy with it and I was glad to see him go, purely because he struck me as the sort you'd never get an extended run out of because of his fitness.”
And Williams felt that Ings may have been a victim of Jurgen Klopp's intensive training methods.
Williams said: “Maybe it was a case of him not being able to handle Klopp's physical demands, because I'm not sure if he had injury issues at Burnley before Liverpool, but he's not really had them since at Southampton.”
“Maybe he couldn't deal with the day to day intensity, he'd persistently get slight niggles that meant he couldn't play.”
Meanwhile, fellow co-host David Hughes felt that Ings is reaping the benefits of playing for a side set up to cater for his attacking talents.
“Sometimes it just doesn't work at a club. You just can't get fit and get a run in the side, so you need to go somewhere else and succeed,” stated Hughes.
“I think he's always destined to be a bigger fish in a small pond, I think he'll always play for a mid-table Premier League side and be very good.
“He's at a side where he is just there to finish moves off, there's not much more expected of him, he averages just over 12 passes received per game, so he's not very heavily involved in build up play.
“That means he can take up good locations on the pitch to score.”
