Liverpool veteran James Milner is ready to play this season at left-back.

The erratic form of Alberto Moreno has forced Jurgen Klopp to shift the Reds vice-captain from his usual midfield position for the last three games.

“It is different," Milner told the Liverpool Echo. “There are pluses and minuses to it.

“All my career being in the midfield or higher up than that you have got people behind you. You are working in pairs when you play further up but you are more of a unit when you are playing at left-back.

“You need to be aware of where your centre-backs are so you are not the deepest man, all these things.

“It's new for me and I'm learning as fast as I can. Hopefully I can keep the mistakes to a minimum and do what I can for the team.

“I think I have adapted throughout my career to playing different positions and this one is different as well. Hopefully my experience and my time in football can help me.

“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do. Ultimately, if he thinks that is the best thing for the team then I will do it."
