English Premier League: Klopp’s Liverpool welcome Wagner’s Huddersfield

Probably the first time in the history of these two’s careers where they will have to put aside their friendship. Klopp’s broken down Liverpool, takes on Wagners United beaters, Huddersfield.

The two meet after showing contrasted form from each other. Liverpool on the one end, paying the price for not improving on defensive problems during the transfer window. On the other end, Huddersfield have made a statement in their maiden, Premier League campaign.

The problems increased for the Merseyside outfit after news key figure Coutinho, will be missing after sustaining an injury before the encounter. It’s enough Klopp has to think what to do with his backline, now he has considerable problems with his frontline.

Do we see Chamberlain start his first Premier League fixture for the Reds, or are we to see Sturridge come in and show some sort of life after consistent injury hassles? The Reds’ boss has plenty to think about ahead of tomorrow.

Huddersfield haven’t really been on a good run, but they have done more with less during their early success. They sit in a better position than the top-six club, Liverpool. But have only managed one win from their last three Premier League games.

Liverpool’s last three Premier League fixtures:

The home team’s last three shows a better, but not acceptable run of games. Draws all over the show for the Reds and a loss in their last appearance, where they went home with no dignity intact.

A change in defence has to be made by the manager and the Liverpool public is crying out for a central defensive pair between, Matip and Gomez. While Trent the young scouser operates in the fullback position.

This is what many believe will stop the crisis before Klopp gets to an all important, transfer window. Reality is, they can’t be any more dreadful than what they are currently. Anything will help the limping liverbird.

last three Premier League fixtures:

Huddersfield can only take last week’s greatness and build on it. If they were anything close to what they were before the Man United clash, they in for a busy afternoon.

Salah will be Liverpool’s most important outlet and biggest threat for the home side. Huddersfield’s job to keep him contained, will be key to them leaving with a point. If they do this plus create several set-pieces, they could take all the points back home.

If they fail to contain the Egyptian, it’s most likely they will end up losing by a big scoreline. Because of the injury problems Liverpool currently have, it’s difficult to know where else they would cause a threat up front.
