Three points, of course, will remain the priority for Jurgen Klopp’s men after three successive league games without a win.

Add a fourth to that list and alarm bells will be ringing at Anfield, and rightly so when contrasted to the highs of our prior campaign in which two games held us back from securing a place in the history books courtesy of a quadruple haul of silverware.
There’s an element of a hangover to consider, with the mental and physical toll of such a season difficult to ignore.
Joe Gomez holds on to his spot in the backline alongside an out-of-form Virgil van Dijk with Alisson Becker, as expected, the man housed between the sticks.
Fabinho makes a much-needed return to the midfield three and is joined by Harvey Elliott and Jordan Henderson.
Up top, Klopp has kept the faith in the front-three combination of Mo Salah, Luis Diaz and Bobby Firmino that struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford.
