Jurgen Klopp aware of Christian Benteke threat as Crystal Palace striker prepares for first return to Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is well aware of the threat Christian Benteke poses - after all it was he who sold him to Crystal Palace - but has warned his players they cannot concentrate their focus on the big man.

The Belgium striker returns to Anfield for the first time since ending his one-season stay at the club last summer with a £27million move to Selhurst Park.

Benteke has scored 14 goals this season - four more than he managed under Klopp last season - and three in his last four matches.

Worryingly for Klopp he likes scoring against Liverpool, with five in seven appearances.
