What happened. Jeremy Jacquet has started each of Liverpool's opening five games since joining from Rennes, forming a strong partnership with Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk praised the 21-year-old's start but urged him to keep working and learning.

• Liverpool have kept three clean sheets in their last three Premier League games.
• Jacquet's move from Rennes was agreed in January.
• Van Dijk warned against getting carried away so early in the season.

“He has had an excellent start, but we are only in September.”

— Virgil van Dijk

Jacquet will look to maintain his form and keep his place as Liverpool's season progresses.
