Rodgers: Liverpool players enjoying 3-4-3 system

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the formation they're using after victory at Aston Villa.

Liverpool once again utilised the 3-4-3 formation that has been the foundation for their undefeated streak.

Rodgers said: "The system is working very well for us. The most important thing is the style. The system can be whatever - in my time here, we've played a lot of different systems.

"This is an exciting system because it gets a lot of your technical players into the team, gives you domination centrally, gives you the extra body from behind to build the game and gives you good positions on the outside to keep the ball and penetrate. The players we bring in are footballers, so Daniel could easily fit into that.

"Look at Emre Can today, what a wonderful player he is. He's a central midfield player, but his composure, calmness and strength a number of times against Benteke was impressive.

"The most important thing for me is the identity and style of the team - that's very much come back and the system may change or may not."
