First of all, Liverpool have no European football this season and that will be a massive advantage to Klopp as he looks to find consistency in the Premier League.

Work began on the stadium previous year and the club said it marked another “incredible chapter”.
It’s understandable from Jurgen Klopp if I’m honest. Defender Mamadou Sakho, whose ban for using a fat burner was overturned in July, is practising with the team and available for selection.
His current form has eased concerns over his place in the team, with reports suggesting Klopp had chose to go with Karius as his number one choice following the German’s decision to opt against going to the Olympics after holding talks with the former Mainz manager. “In the situation in the open transfer phase, you have to prepare decisions – you have to make decisions and you have to prepare [for] the situation after the window closes”.
“After closing of the window the situation is like it is and you can not change your squad”, he told reporters.
This match also kicks off a busy stretch of schedule for Leicester City, who will play seven matches over the next 22 days as Ranieri will attempt to juggle his roster amid Champions League, League Cup and league matches.
“I just want to be in the squad and when I get my chances, I want to make the majority”, Grujic said.
“We have to make Mama now fit”.
“I will never be standing in the middle of the interest of my player but it doesn’t mean I have to shut up when I see things are not being done in a good way”.
“Mama knows, and I know”.
The game against Leicester City will be a famous moment in the club’s history as we play in front of nearly 55,000 fans for the first time since the late 1970s. You should compare when it helps, but if it doesn’t, then why even think about it? “It is hard. You hope people stay fit – maybe not for Mama’s sake – but for the team”. Then we will see what happens.
He added: “It was our mantra to say we would not over-promise, and I think today proves we were focused on a stadium solution”. It’s normal now, now the squad is clear, you can not change it anymore, now it’s all good, now we have one more good centre-half – good, all good.

“I’m not trying to judge him as a coach – although, for me, he’s not a good coach – but he didn’t understand that Balotelli is, whatever else, a person”.
