Jürgen Klopp on 'incredible' Joel Matip and centre-back rotation

Having returned from a long-term injury during the summer, Matip has started all five of Liverpool’s fixtures so far this season, helping the side to register four wins and three clean sheets.

Asked about the No.32’s form during his pre-Palace press conference, Klopp said: “Look, I cannot help people who don’t see the quality of Joel Matip.

“That’s true, he was a bit unlucky in the past with an injury here and there – maybe not always the most difficult things but he is a big boy, a big player, tall and it can look from time to time a bit edgy or whatever.
