Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to start new pace attack of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at Watford and warns 'speed is most difficult to defend'

Jurgen Klopp will unleash his newly-formed speed attack of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in Liverpool's Premier League opener at Watford on Saturday.

Salah signed for Liverpool in a club-record £39m transfer from Roma in June while Mane is ready to play for the first-time since injuring his knee in a 3-1 win over Everton in April.

In a press conference previewing Liverpool's trip to Vicarage Road, Klopp said he will play them on either wing of Liverpool's front line and is relishing the impact they could have together.
