Ranieri leads his side to Anfield for Saturday’s evening kickoff, with Liverpool playing out their first home game of 2016/17.

“It’s really, really impressive, what they have done there”. What they’ve done there is unbelievable. That’s more power and we should use this and start now with our first home game. We’d like him to, as he’s the most natural finisher in the squad, but we’ll accept the manager’s verdict either way. They’re sitting 11th on four points.

Adam has made well over 100 Stoke appearances but is yet to feature in the Premier League this season – the final one of his contract at the Bet365 Stadium.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri may give a debut to record signing Islam Slimani against Liverpool on Saturday even though the striker is yet to train with his new team-mates. “I don’t think I have had any problems, so I am happy to come in and integrate quickly”.

But as far as another former Liverpool midfielder, Murphy, is concerned – his departure was a little bit premature.

Klopp added: “It is about making him fit”. The different pairs no how to play together, why should I say they are the pair for whole season and then one of them gets injured.

Although the ground capacity at Anfield is yet to be confirmed, a crowd of about 54,000 is expected to see Jurgen Klopp’s side play their first Premier League match at home this season. We could have won or lost there.

He told Liverpool’s club website: “I’m fit”. Our problem was in the second half we were too direct.

The France global served a 30-day suspension – meaning he missed the Europa League final – for a failed drugs test in April which was later rescinded and was then sent home from the club’s pre-season tour of the United States because of concerns over his attitude. “Nobody plays at their best”.
