The Reds have been linked with a swoop for Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Luka Sucic.

He has scored 13 goals in 73 games over the past couple of years and is still only 19-years-old.

Austrian news outlet Salzburger Nachrichten claim Liverpool have been keeping an ‘eye’ on his progress.

Klopp will want his side to get three points in front of their own fans at Anfield though.

James Milner, who came off the bench against Fulham last time out, has previewed the clash against the Eagles and has said, as per the club’s official website:

“We know the level that is expected of us and the level we want to produce. Nobody is bigger critics than the boys in the dressing room. It’s disappointing but it’s one that hopefully we can bounce back from in a strong way on Monday.”
