Another impressive Premier League victory for Liverpool at the weekend was influenced by superb performances at the back and a flawless attacking display by Roberto Firmino, according to Alan Shearer.

Along with Trent-Alexander Arnold and Virgil van Dijk the Premier League Champion selected the Brazilian forward in his best XI from Matchweek 4 for the role he played in linking up the attack in the Reds' 3-0 victory at Burnley.

"It was the perfect centre-forward's performance," said Shearer, who also chose Jurgen Klopp as his manager of the week. "He scored a goal and brought others into the game perfectly.
