Jurgen Klopp appears to have successfully solved Liverpool's defensive deficiencies

What a difference a year can make. It is 12 months to the day since Liverpool's defensive difficulties reached their nadir during a 4-1 humbling at Tottenham.

Jurgen Klopp's side were all over the place that afternoon at Wembley as Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Simon Mignolet seemingly tried to outdo one another in a competition to commit the most mistakes.

At that point, Liverpool had conceded 16 goals in their opening nine Premier League matches - their worst defensive record at that stage of a season since 1964-65.
