Klopp lauds 'annoying' Firmino
09.50: Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Roberto Firmino for being an “annoying” player for opposing teams to face.
“Roberto scored twice, but what he did around these goals is what excites me the most, to be honest,” Klopp said after the 5-1 win over Brighton.
“In all the counter-attacks, pretty much, he won the ball.
“By being here, by being a little annoying, a little foot, a little toe - that for us is important.”

Matip injury update
09.30: Jurgen Klopp has revealed Joel Matip will miss Wednesday's meeting with Spartak Moscow due to injury but is not expected to be a long-term absentee.
"He has hurt his muscle. I don't know how long exactly he'll be out, but he's definitely not playing Wednesday," he said.
"A month? No, I don't think so. But as always, it's possible. We have to wait.
"But it's possible that it will be shorter. We will see."

Barcelona back in for Coutinho
09.00: Barcelona will attempt to lure Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool in the January transfer window with another huge bid.
Barca were knocked back three times in their attempts to sign the Brazilian in the summer.
But Italian outlet Calciomercato claim they plan to return in the New Year with an £88m bid.
Coutinho is under contract at Anfield until June 2022 but handed in a transfer request last summer.
