Liverpool continued to thrive in the "bold citrus" ensemble with commanding Premier League victories over West Ham United and Stoke City, scoring four goals at the London Stadium and three at the bet365.

The flashy uniform was bought out once again in December's league trip to Arsenal, where Juergen Klopp's side netted three more goals but were held to a draw by the resilient hosts.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has a stellar record while sporting the orange outfit, scoring eight goals in five outings, and the 25-year-old notched his 22nd league goal in the eye-catching kit in Sunday's 2-0 victory at Southampton.

The Egyptian was on the scoresheet once again as Liverpool's attacking trio of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane ran riot in Portugal with the Senegal international sealing a hat-trick to put Liverpool in command of the Round of 16 tie.

While supporters remain divided on the flashy outfit, there is no doubt that Liverpool feel at home in bright orange with Klopp's men averaging four goals per game while wearing the third kit.
