Klopp: Mignolet is unhappy, but Karius is No. 1

The Reds boss says he has a "luxury problem" of choosing between two class goalkeepers, with the £4.7 million recruit from Mainz edging the selection battle.

Simon Mignolet will start in goal for Liverpool’s hosting of Tottenham in the League Cup, but Jurgen Klopp has revealed Loris Karius is currently the club’s first-choice option between the sticks.

The Belgian will be restored to the starting lineup Tuesday for the fourth-round encounter as the manager refreshes his squad, but it is only a temporary situation.

It was in the previous fixture of the tournament against Derby County on September 20 when Karius first assumed the gloves this season following an injury lay-off, and he has not ceded it in the four games since that 3-0 victory.
