And Brazilian shotstopper Alisson is looking to build on their best run of the season.
He says: “In football, when you find the momentum and get the confidence you have to keep that.
“It’s too easy to lose and if you lose it it’s really hard to get back, everybody saw it this season.
“We are getting on the winning path again.
“Still a lot to improve but we are on the right path as a team and I really believe great things will come for us.”
