After a week full of firsts Jürgen Klopp will manage his first league game at Anfield and will want his players to perform much better than in his midweek home debut against Rubin Kazan on Thursday. While Ronald Koeman will share the German’s sentiments after his Southampton side spurned a 2-0 lead at Leicester last Saturday, with a visit to Chelsea next weekend it is Klopp who needs to find the winning habit.
