Read our privacy policy Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes the defensive reinforcements he brought in on deadline day will allow him to bring some normality to his midfield. The arrivals of Ben Davies, from Preston, and Schalke's Ozan Kabak on loan – both of whom are available for Sunday's visit of Premier League leaders Manchester City – will offer the Reds boss the chance to move one or both players back into their more natural positions. With their recent problems in front of goal, and back-to-back home league defeats after previously going unbeaten for 68 games, the way Liverpool defend is likely to be crucial to the outcome.
