Daniel Sturridge Starts, Philippe Coutinho On Bench – Liverpool Team vs Leicester Confirmed

While much of the focus, understandably, is on the Manchester derby, this Liverpool vs Leicester City encounter has all the makings of a Premier League classic.

“Liverpool are a very good team and on Saturday we have a very good match”, he said.

Leicester opened their account with a shock 2-1 defeat at Hull City before sharing the spoils 0-0 with Arsenal. “I love it”, said Klopp, who will consider Daniel Sturridge for a starting role with Philippe Coutinho having been absent for the first part of the week due to global commitments with Brazil.

“The first time I saw the new stand, I thought ‘Wow!’ I couldn’t imagine it would look like this after the Chelsea game [in May]”, Klopp told the club’s website. But we came through it together and in the end it was more than deserved, I would say.

“We are the only people that can change our circumstances, nobody else will do it for you”, he said.

The Reds may have history on their side, but so far they have conceded six goals in three games.

However, Klopp may omit Philippe Coutinho – who has accounted for two of the Reds’ goals and been arguably their most important player thus far – from his starting lineup, due to travel time back from worldwide duty with Brazil.

Anfield did grow tense as the visitors searched for a way back into the game and committed men upfield, but Firmino added another goal late on by footing into an empty net to ensure that no party in front of the club’s owners was to be spoiled on this day. I really am. I’m responsible for our bad performances, they are responsible for our good performances. We welcome Leicester City, current champions, and hope to bag an important three points.

Goalkeeper Loris Karius has returned to training after suffering a broken hand in pre-season.

Sakho’s precipitous fall down the Liverpool pecking order raised eyebrows among fans, many of whom rated him as the club’s best centre back after a series of fine displays prior to his ban last season. Show me. You have to fight and say, ‘Hey Sam, I am ready to play!’ He’s refreshed, he trained very well.

Liverpool rounded off the scoring in the 89th minute, as Mane turned provider to tee up Firmino for his second goal of the game. “But I forgot. Believe me, always I forget what happened yesterday”.
