It’s about who plays now, and then at the end Mama knows and I know. It doesn’t feel good, but it’s not too bad. “We are the only team in the Premier League with three away games”, Klopp said.

But despite his side’s mixed fortunes, Klopp is happy with the start to the campaign, especially considering all four games have been away from home. I think I can do either really.
Christian Benteke scored a first-half victor in a 1-0 victory over the Foxes at Anfield in December but the Belgium worldwide has since been sold to Crystal Palace. It’s really, really impressive.
“What they did there? outstanding job”, Klopp told Liverpool’s official website Thursday. “I have no idea how somebody could do something like this but when you stand in front of it, it’s really unbelievable”. He scored twice in Leicester’s win over Liverpool last season, and he’ll likely need to play well if the Foxes are to beat them again.
“This is a good place and a good opponent”. Second half we came out and were brilliant.
While Liverpool’s attackers shined under the management of Klopp previous year, the defence always looked shaky and the club has gone some way to addressing that issue with their summer signings. Whereas, in the past, the captain was regularly pushed forward during attacks, he will now be tasked with more of the responsibility of providing cover when the other boys are bombing on for glory.
“But I would say it now: it’s another season”.
The iconic stadium now has a capacity of 54,074, up from last season’s 45,362, and Klopp is hoping to capitalise on that extra support when Claudio Ranieri’s side visit this weekend. “It’s more power, we should use this”. “It’s a wonderful opportunity”.
The Germany global injured an ankle in the EFL Cup win over Burton on August 23 and will not be ready while Estonia centre-back Klavan reported back from worldwide duty with a gashed and bruised knee.
No team has conceded more goals in the Premier League this season than Liverpool (six – level with Watford and Stoke).
Vardy approaches the game following a frustrating week with England, for whom he was an unused substitute against Slovakia.
Claudio Ranieri has challenged Jamie Vardy to prove to Sam Allardyce that he deserves to be starting for England.
“He is ready. He has played all the matches with Sporting Lisbon and he is ready to play with us”.
“It was hard because it was a first pre-season with Liverpool and some training was harder than at my old club in Serbia, but every day I adapted more for this new kind of training and everything is good now”.
Klopp said on Thursday that Sakho would have to get match fit to be in contention for a recall, having not played in nearly five months, but the centre back’s recent behaviour would not prevent a return to action in the longer term.
“It was a special moment”. But I forgot it.
As always, Jordan Henderson believes in the team and what the team is capable of.

The 28-year-old striker was due to meet his new team-mates for the first time on Friday after returning from global duty with Algeria. “He holds the ball very well and he is good in the air”, Ranieri said.
