Former England striker Darren Bent believes Sadio Mane's form has nosedived at Liverpool.

Mane has now failed to get his name on the scoresheet in his last seven Premier League encounters.

"You'd definitely say right now if you looked at that front three and said one had to go tomorrow, it probably would be Mane," Bent told talkSPORT.

“He started off the season relatively well. He has gone a bit quiet in the last couple of weeks - I'd say for a little while.

“If you look at the form of Diogo Jota and Salah, unfortunately he [Mane] seems to be the one that's not firing.

“I think they're both one and two in the goalscoring charts in the Premier League, which is scary.

"The quicker they can get Mane back firing, the better that will be for them to close that gap but right now, at the minute, I don't know what's going on with him but he just can't seem to keep pace with the other two.

“If you had to ask me to sell one now, I'm sorry to say, but out of the front three it would probably be Mane."
