Injury problems, questions over his midfield and defensive lapses have left Liverpool on the back foot ALREADY... when even a draw can be fatal in a race with Man City, what can Jurgen Klopp do to fire up his Reds after flopping at Fulham?

What a difference a week can make.

From the high of beating Manchester City in the Community Shield with a dazzling display to the frustration of being held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Seven days is certainly a long time in football but for Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool team, there is already a sense that their backs are against the wall.

In a title battle with Pep Guardiola's side where any slip up feels like the end of the world, Klopp will be worried that a sluggish start could end any hope of competing before we even get out of August.
