Loris Karius confirmed as Liverpool FC number one keeper
Liverpool are building momentum after three successive wins in league and cup but manager Jurgen Klopp is pleading for patience when his team face Hull City at Anfield on Saturday.
Hull have proven their ability to get results against Premier League sides already this season.
Despite the stunning form they are in, Liverpool could easily take a turn for the worst. You can only bet after several games on the bench that Divock Origi will give his all to show Klopp why he should start in the league matches.
Hull’s cause was not helped by the dismissal of Ahmed Elmohamady after half an hour as the defender blocked a shot from Philippe Coutinho on the line with his arm.
The Tigers have also made an impressive start to the campaign and they can go level on points with Liverpool in the standings if they secure a victory on Merseyside.
Phelan is still to learn whether he will be appointed manager on a permanent basis.
“It’s exciting. It’s the first draw I watched live because I saw the game before”, Klopp said about drawing Tottenham.
Liverpool, on the contrary, are going from strength to strength.
Klopp called for Anfield “anger” to ensure the same approach that brought success against Chelsea last Friday, insisting the issue is not tactical if teams play a defensive style. “For them only 50 per cent of preparation time”. No.
Sadio Mane first scorer and 3-0 is 16/1.
The pair’s understanding has been one of the reasons behind Liverpool’s emerging success and the England global, who has scored four goals for club and country this season, received a standing ovation when he was replaced in the 69th minute.

Loris Karius was widely expected to become Liverpool s first-choice goalkeeper when he signed from Mainz in May, but his progress was halted when he suffered a broken finger during the pre-season tour of the United States. “It would be nice to have a clean sheet one time in the season!”
Jurgen Klopp’s side capped a dominant display after Daniel Sturridge won a dubious penalty, allowing Milner to dispatch his second spot-kick of the match and move Liverpool above rivals Everton in the top four on goal difference.
Milner tucked away the penalty before Mane’s crisp finish made it 3-0, and though David Meyler grabbed a lifeline early in the second half, Coutinho struck nearly immediately afterwards to restore Liverpool’s three-goal advantage.
