The most awkward assignment awaits Nuno Espírito Santo as he adapts to the absence of Raul Jiménez, who had played 86 consecutive Premier League games before his head injury at Arsenal. Jürgen Klopp’s mood and defensive problems might indicate otherwise but Liverpool have kept five clean sheets in theirpast 10 games, taken 139 points from the last 147 available at Anfield and are the only team to score in every Premier League game this season. The impact of former Wolves forward Diogo Jota, with nine goals in 15 outings so far, will be an added concern. Andy Hunter
