Liverpool boss Klopp: Origi deserves to start

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists starting Divock Origi against Watford "makes sense".

Origi started in what appears to be a forward three alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Klopp said: "It makes sense.

“Div deserves it, like all the others we could have chosen would have deserved it because the training attitude is brilliant.

“It's not good, of course, that Bobby isn't available, but it's always nice to give somebody else the next chance. That's Div now; he has trained really well.

“That's good for us, a good option for us. It changes a little bit the game, because Bobby is a very decisive and demanding player for us. We will see how that works out."
