Liverpool legend Alan Hansen says Jurgen Klopp needs to rebuild from the back.

The Scot believes Liverpool can achieve success if they find consistency in defence - just like Leicester.

Hansen told the Daily Mirror: "You look at Leicester – top of the Premier League, five points clear and of course their strikers have been exceptional.

"But the combination of Wes Morgan and Robert Huth at the back has been a revelation and that has given them a basis to challenge for the title.

"When I watched Leicester two or three times, about 18 months ago, I wasn't sure about Morgan. And Huth, without being too critical, was always an honest, rugged defender but he couldn't get in the first team at Stoke.

"All of a sudden, they are an established partnership in a side who could win the title, they are rock-solid and they are on the same wavelength as Kasper Schmeichel in goal behind them.

"They are a model for Liverpool – that stable core at the back is what they need – but who is going to forge that partnership? I've not seen any obvious solution yet."
