Sakho outburst has been dealt with - Klopp

Jamie Carragher Tips Emre Can to Replace Jordan Henderson in Holding Midfield Role

While Liverpool's midfield has no doubt given the side extra creative powers, their defensive capabilities have suffered, with no player in the three man midfield of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lallana particularly adept at playing exclusively as a defensive midfielder.

“They only have four points but it doesnt show the kind of quality they have there.

But Sakho made steps towards a first-team comeback on Wednesday when he played his first competitive game since April for the Reds' under-23 squad.

Simon Brotherton: "It's too early to tell where Liverpool's excellent early-season form may take them, but if they play like they did when I saw them at Chelsea recently it could be a long afternoon for the home side".

Ings will be hoping to get a run out in the Premier League for the first time since the final weekend of last season. We lost there past year after coming back from Villarreal.

After the 5-1 thumping of Hull City last weekend, the Reds play their final game before the worldwide break as they travel to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday for the 12.30pm BST kick-off.

"With starting line-ups we always talk about the present, the moment, but we all have to be ready for anything that can happen in the next two or three weeks".

"Now we have absolutely no excuses".

"We are still in development and we have to improve on technical things as a team". But this time we want to deserve something else.

"Christmas will come, the second part of the season will come, the weather will change".

"We need to stay fit, we need to have luck with injuries and all that stuff. Of course it's better to have a good start than an average or bad start, and until now it was a good start, but we have to build on it".

Striker Divock Origi is a doubt for the match having sustained a knock on his foot, but Klopp insisted the problem was not major.
