Jurgen Klopp has begun his quest for the Premier League title in difficult circumstances after Philippe Coutinho handed in a transfer request.
The Reds have been unsettled after Barcelona came calling for the former Inter starlet, who is officially ‘injured.’
For Philippe Coutinho , the stakes of a big money move to Barcelona are high enough to sabotage Liverpool’s season less than 24 hours before the big kick-off.
Also, Marco Silva has a chance to get his Watford career off to a great start in front of his own fans at Vicarage Road.
Big signings, including club record buy Andre Gray, plus Brazilian starlet Richarlyson, have ensured a positive mood for the Hornets.
The Reds are without both their most creative players, as Adam Lallana nurses a thigh problem.
Nathaniel Chalobah and Will Hughes will hope to make an impact after finally sealing their Premier League opportunities.
The Reds won last time the sides met with Emre Can’s stunning scissor kick strike the difference in a 1-0 win to help secure Champions League football returns to Anfield this season.
For manager, Juergen Klopp, it is not just the future of one important player that is at stake, but the very future of the football club itself, and the team he has so carefully crafted over the past years.
Klopp has acknowledged every player has his price… but only if the time is right.
The German manager has told Coutinho several times the timing of Barca’s £90million bid was most certainly not right, and their interest would not be entertained at any price. So have Liverpool’s owners.
