Six short-term fixes for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool defence in January

Will they or won't they? That is the question surrounding Liverpool in the January transfer window as they mull over whether or not to buy a centre-back.

Jurgen Klopp has been without Virgil van Dijk since October 17 and Joe Gomez since November and after months of getting by with makeshift defenders, it looks like they are starting to feel their absence.

Fabinho has been immense in his conversion from anchor man to centre-back while youngsters Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips have performed admirably. Even Jordan Henderson did a fine job in defence at Southampton on Monday.
