His first goal was a curling 30-yard free kick to equalize at the end of the first half.
He assisted Dejan Lovren's opener against Chelsea in an eventual 2–1 win.
He also scored a goal and provided an assist against Hull City and was voted man of the match.
After this match, he did not register any goals or assists for two games, but was very impressive with his performances against Manchester United and Swansea City.
He was voted man of the match for three successive matches for Liverpool against West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and Watford.
After 11 league matches, Liverpool reached the top of the table for the first time since May 2014, with Coutinho having played an important role.

On 26 November, Coutinho suffered ankle ligament damage in the first half of a 2–0 win against Sunderland, which ruled him out of action until 11 January against Southampton in the EFL Cup first leg.

In January, Coutinho signed a new five-year contract with no release clause with Liverpool which would keep him at the club until 2022.
He then was named man of the match in his performance in the 3–1 Merseyside victory over Everton after scoring and assisting a goal.
