Jürgen Klopp explains team selection v Brighton
Jürgen Klopp explained that he saw ‘no big reason’ to alter his team after naming the same starting line-up for the third game in a row.
Liverpool host Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday having won their opening two Premier League matches of the season against West Ham United and Crystal Palace respectively.
Klopp has again opted to field the same XI for the clash with the Seagulls, with the seven substitutes from Monday’s 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park also named on the bench once more.
On his selection, the boss said pre-match: “Not the most difficult decision of my life but it was not too easy.
“The boys push from behind, that’s how it is, that’s clear. We had a nearly normal training week, one or two sessions more would have helped for sure, but we stick to that and there’s no big reason to change.
“I think after the international break then we will need the whole squad and will use the whole squad, and hopefully in a big game today we can win.”
