Klopp looking to combine Sturridge and Benteke with Coutinho and Firmino - Liverpool great Molby

Liverpool legend Jan Molby believes that manager Jurgen Klopp is looking to strike a four-way partnership between the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.


Almost a month after his arrival, Klopp finally has the likes of Sturridge, Benteke, Firmino and Coutinho available at his disposal ahead of the weekend's clash with Manchester City.

The return of the star players to full fitness is certainly a big boost for Liverpool and Molby believes that Klopp is looking to strike a balance between the quartet.

In his column for the Liverpool Echo, Molby stated: "Having Daniel Sturridge back in training creates a feel-good factor down at Melwood and I think Jurgen Klopp wants to play all of his big four attacking players Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho when he can – he'll find a way.

"The bottom line is that he expects his players to run. As long as all his players have got that work rate then he won't have a problem. It does require the players to put the effort in but he managed to get it out of equally talented players at Dortmund."
