Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is loving the competition within his squad.

The German says his players are fighting tooth and nail in training in order to impress him.

Speaking before Tuesday's Champions League clash with Napoli, Klopp said he had plenty of players available for selection.

He said: "And the competition in this team is really big, yes. If that line-up is not performing, they are really there. As an example, Shaq [Xherdan Shaqiri] is brought in in that position where he has been training for a couple of weeks now. He is so creative. He is a real option.

"If you have one good game and another good game, the dynamic changes. Dejan Lovren is not in the squad and I have no explanation for that other than two centre-halves on the bench is probably not necessary. Naby Keita is coming, everyone knows that.

"When Ox [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain] played really well at Southampton, for the all others it was 'ooh', but you should see training. They all want to make sure, 'I am ready, you can use me'.

"This is a really big club with competition between friends. It is not I have to kill him to play, it is really for the team. That is what the boys did so far and as long as we have that we will go for everything. Then we have to see what we get because we have really good opponents and that is the problem."
