The Reds are still searching for the right balance in the middle of the park but they have two big-money signings ready to take off
Jurgen Klopp will hope Liverpool can break one of their recent trends this weekend.
It is a strange quirk of the Reds’ season that, in the three games which have immediately followed Champions League fixtures, they have managed to score exactly the same number of goals as they did in their European outing.
Having beaten Paris Saint-Germain 3-2, they defeated Southampton 3-0 that weekend. The 1-0 loss to Napoli was followed by a goalless draw with Manchester City, and having beaten Red Star Belgrade 4-0 last month they carried on their form with a 4-1 drubbing of Cardiff City.
