Jurgen Klopp: ‘Dejan Lovren could be fit for Leicester City clash’

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has no fresh concerns.

Klopp knows his side face a hard task against high-flying opposition who have kept five clean sheets on their own turf this term. “If he can train from next week, Tuesday or Wednesday on, he would be an option for Leicester. I don’t know in this moment”, Klopp said. “They have very good players, Jose is an fantastic coach, they have a big history and they have very good fans, but football is always a surprise”.

“It’s possible to more successful than people think”.

Watford have been surprisingly good.

“But we won’t go there to clap our hands for them”. There will be a lot of pressure on Liverpool to bounce back in this match while Watford will try to mimic what West Brom did at Anfield last weekend.

However, he does take time to praise Watford, highlighting their impressive tally of three successive Premier League wins, which is no mean feat for a club who were tipped for relegation by all at the beginning of the season.

After arguably outshining Everton’s Romelu Lukaku throughout the duration of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Liverpool seemingly pulled off a great deal when they completed the initial move for Origi two summers ago.

“I’m happy because these kind of matches against historic teams are always a little bit different”.

Daniel Sturridge (hamstring), James Milner (calf) and Dejan Lovren (knee) are all sidelined for Liverpool. We have to defend so that nobody can easily make a goal.

Watford have never won back to back home games in the Premier League. We want Mamadou’s quality and his strength but the team has to help him too.

Troy Deeney and Ighalo have created 29 goalscoring chances for one another in the Premier League this season; more than any other combination.

Games against Watford and Leicester City will be far tougher than many thought when the fixtures were released.
