Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp gets ruthless by dropping four club heroes vs Chelsea | Football | Sport
Both full-backs started against City and appear to have been taken out of the team by Klopp, with Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas starting in their places.
The German boss has also named an unfamiliar midfield, as the experienced James Milner and youthful presence of Curtis Jones partner Jordan Henderson as a central trio.
Klopp has been left short of numbers in midfield after injuries to Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara. And that suggests he was far from happy with Harvey Elliott’s display on Saturday as the youngster loses his place in the team.
Liverpool are in desperate need of three points but haven’t won on the road in the Premier League in their last four matches, but facing Chelsea – who sacked Graham Potter on Sunday – may present the Reds with an ideal opportunity.
