With Liverpool’s sights raised this season Jürgen Klopp might not lead thechorus-line celebrations in front of the Kop should his team salvage a point in added time against Albion this time. “But everything is possible,” he admitted. The last three meetings between the teams have been drawn but, having defended Manchester United’s long balls on Monday, Klopp believes Liverpool are better equipped to deal with the Tony Pulis approach that caused him and his players such consternation last season. Adam Lallana is fit to start and improve the urgency and accuracy that was missing from Liverpool’s display against United. Andy Hunter
