Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town, 5 Talking Points

#1 Injury headaches for Jurgen Klopp

Dejan Lovren picked up an injury in the warm-up

First Coutinho, then Lovren in the span of days. While a few Liverpool supporters were cynically rejoicing Lovren's absence from the starting XI, even they know that the side are woefully short at the back.

Klavan did a decent job against Huddersfield, but they hardly tested the Estonian, so the clash against West Ham will be interesting. Klopp has the option of playing Joe Gomez at centre-back as Trent Alexander-Arnold is a pretty good option on the right, but that's about it when it comes to personnel at the moment.

The injury to Lovren means resources are stretched at Anfield. Couple that with the injuries Liverpool have already had -- Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho more recently -- Klopp and co. could be in for a hard time in the coming month or so.

December will be a tough period and the fans will hope some of the key players will be back by then. But the Merseyside outfit need to make sure they stay in the reckoning for the top four places and not fall too far behind.
