Liverpool whiz Naby Keita is confident of quickly settling into manager Jurgen Klopp's pattern of play.

Keita has worked together as a "unit" in the past few weeks, according to the 23-year-old, despite some players missing due to the World Cup.

And he is confident that the high level of understanding between the players will be beneficially for the Reds as they look to contest the title this season.

Keita told Liverpoolfc.com: "Over the course of pre-season we've all done a lot of work, I think we're all at a good level of preparation.

"It's not been too hard for me [to get used to playing with his new teammates]. I have a very good relationship already established with the three forwards particularly - Sadio, Roberto Firmino and Salah.

"Obviously we've done work together as a unit, but it's not been difficult either with the rest of the team. We've all been working very well together and hopefully this is going to help us on Sunday to put it into practice in the league.

"The three forwards, obviously they've got experience together and they're all very fast players.

"They think quickly [and] they have a very good understanding between themselves so my role is to support that, help in every way I can and hopefully provide them with some good service."
