Liverpool defender Joe Gomez says he'll never take his place for granted.

The defender impressed alongside Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Jurgen Klopp's defence last weekend and will have a further chance to stake his claim ahead of Dejan Lovren against Crystal Palace on Monday.

Speaking on the competition for places at Anfield, Gomez said: “Probably within the team it's going to be that way a lot of the time this year. There's a lot of strength in depth and everyone knows rotation is possible at any point in time.

“You have to treat each game like it's your last – because there's always going to be someone working hard and ready to slot back in. It's healthy and good, it's part of being at a club like this.

“It can only give us more strength this year; there were times last season where we struggled and had to adapt quite a bit in a positional sense. That's how we've all got to see it and I've got to see it like that as well."
