Ever since the announcement that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would be leaving the club at the end of this season, it seems there has been a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of the club.
Klopp has been at the club since 2015, taking the team from a time where Brendan Rodgers had his contract terminated due to excessive spending and not achieving the goals the owners expected. Now, Liverpool fans don’t know what to make of the situation. Will the new manager be able to cope with the strength it takes to partake in such a difficult and commanding role, or will they crumble under pressure and begin a possible downfall?
Jurgen Klopp Stats At Liverpool:
Matches: 329
Wins: 207
Draws: 76
Losses: 46
Onto the fixture then, Sean Dyche has revealed that there is large possibility that striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will feature after narrowly avoiding a major injury during the Toffees 2-0 over Nottingham Forest on the weekend.
However, after Beto’s concussion injury on Sunday, causing him to be stretchered off and hospitalised as a precaution, the Portuguese striker will not feature against the Reds.
Finally, still the same issues with Patterson, Dobbin and Dele as they are unlikely to not feature for the Blues this season as they are sidelined with separate issues.
