3. Klopp has serious plans for Man United

Liverpool face Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday. And in a sign of that game’s importance and that things are getting serious in that competition. Klopp decided to rest Daniel Sturrige, Philippe Coutinho and Nathaniel Clyne – all three being key members of his starting 11. He clearly wanted to give them a breather ahead of the big mid-week clash. In spite of falling behind and being in a position of discomfort, the manager did not give Sturridge a run but instead showed his faith in Benteke which did prove good. With things heating up, Liverpool are in for a ride for the remainder of this season.
