Liverpool are one step away from the Champions League group stages, as they take a 2-1 lead into the second-leg of their playoff with Hoffenheim at Anfield.
Liverpool are strong favourites to progress, however, with Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace a crucial first Premier League win of the campaign.
Philippe Coutinho is still unavailable, although Barcelona dropping their interest in the Brazilian bodes well for Liverpool moving forward.
Klopp said in his pre-match press conference that Coutinho was now “ill” – whether that is believable is certainly up for debate.
