Jürgen Klopp has revealed Danny Ings’ form for Southampton has been a source of ‘joy’ to his many friends at Liverpool, but outlined why his side are determined to maintain their outstanding Anfield record by making sure he has a quiet afternoon.
The forward left the Reds for the Saints in the summer of 2018, initially on loan before the deal was made permanent last July.
So far this term, Ings has struck 16 goals in all competitions for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side and Klopp is, of course, well aware of the threat he will pose to his team’s ambitions today.
