Liverpool will be hoping to boost their title hopes when they travel to Newcastle on Sunday.
The Reds have endured a stuttering start to the season and are already five points behind early pace setters Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp's men have been faltering in Europe, with the midweek draw against Spartak Moscow their latest setback.
However, Liverpool saw off Leicester in the Premier League last weekend and Klopp will be hoping his side can extend their unbeaten run at St James' Park.
The Reds' manager is due to face the media on Friday afternoon and you can follow all the latest news from Melwood right here.
That's all, folks
Here’s a recap of what Klopp had to say...
...on Rafa Benitez: “I met him once when he was manager of Liverpool, we beat him 5-0 with Mainz. Hopefully he remembers that.”
On being clinical: “Like it always is in life and in football, we have to keep on going. We all know these boys will score. The difficult thing is to stay confident, to do it again and again and again.”
On Champions League results: “Moscow felt like a defeat but it was not a defeat. Now we know more about Moscow, more about Sevilla.”
On criticism: “I’m not interested in criticism. I’m interested in the thoughts of the people. Journalists, pundits - that’s their job. It’s normal [to criticise].”
On Ancelotti being sacked: “Not a lot of things in the business can surprise me. Carlo is a very experienced manager but sometimes it doesn’t fit together. If Carlo wants to carry on for sure he will find another club.”
On maybe playing Arsenal on Christmas Eve: “What I have learned is that if there is something not too cool involving fixtures, Liverpool are involved. The broadcaster has to consider the wonderful thing they sell depends on the players. On the quality, freshness of the players.”
On Woodburn being selected for Wales: “It’s fantastic. Ben is a fantastic boy, exciting skill and very young still. We had a very good, short talk about it.”
On team news: “No concerns but [CSKA Msocow} was quite an intense game so we check tomorrow.”
On Coutinho’s return: “We are all professionals and we take it like it is. I was very pleased from the first second.”
On Clyne/Bogdan: “Both doing really well, not team training yet. Clyne making real steps and Adam completely normal, outside running.”
On Clyne/Bogdan
“Both doing really well, not team training yet. Clyne making real steps and Adam completely normal, outside running.”
On Coutinho getting his head down and working
“We are all professionals and we take it like it is. I was very pleased from the first second. We had no idea how he will be after the injury but he is in really good shape.”
Team news
“No concerns but [CSKA Msocow} was quite an intense game so we check tomorrow. A few knocks.”
On Woodburn being selected for Wales
“It’s fantastic. Ben is a fantastic boy, exciting skill and very young still. We had a very good, short talk about it.
“He takes each minute as a fantastic opportunity to help any team.
“He still has a lot of things to learn but I am very happy for him.”
On maybe playing Arsenal on Christmas Eve
“If the supporters want to see a game at Christmas Eve then the television broadcaster will find a way.
“What I have learned is that if there is something not too cool involving fixtures, Liverpool are involved.
“The broadcaster has to consider the wonderful thing they sell depends on the players. On the quality, freshness of the players.
“It would be four games in nine days for us. If we have to play Dec 24, Sky has to make a decision whether they really want to do this.
“If Sky really want to do this, we are the last one who may have something to say about the decision.
“I really cannot imagine people want to watch football on that night.”
On Ancelotti being sacked by Bayern
“Not a lot of things in the business can surprise me.
“I saw the game between PSG. Individual quality can decide games and on that night it was this. But I think it was not just this game that made the Bayern bosses make their decision.
“Carlo is a very experienced manager but sometimes it doesn’t fit together. If Carlo wants to carry on for sure he will find another club.”
On criticism
“I’m not interested in criticism. I’m interested in the thoughts of the people. Journalists, pundits - that’s their job. It’s normal [to criticise].
“With all the problems we have had so far we have 11 points. We are really working hard, we have not lost out football knowledge overnight.
“The only thing we can do is to work on our football. Let’s try to make it better in the next game.”
On Champions League results
“Moscow felt like a defeat but it was not a defeat. Now we know more about Moscow, more about Sevilla.”
On not being clinical
“Like it always is in life and in football, we have to keep on going.
“We all know these boys will score. The difficult thing is to stay confident, to do it again and again and again.
“It makes no sense to criticise finishing, it is about creating chances.”
On Rafa Benitez
“I met him once when he was manager of Liverpool, we beat him 5-0 with Mainz. Hopefully he remembers that.
“The rest is history, the big success. We met for sure 10-15 times and it was always very nice. He is a very interesting person.
“I know him better than most of the other colleagues in the Premier League.”
Not long to go
Klopp is due out any minute.
We’ll bring you live updates from Melwood.
Thirty-six years ago today...
Robertson ready to take his chance
Summer signing Andy Robertson has been talking abut trying to force his way into the first team...
If you’re sitting on the bench or sitting in the stand then you have to believe that you can change things.
Even against Arsenal, I thought they were magnificent, to a man they were different class, but if you’re not in the team you’ve got to be thinking I can perform like that if I’m in that squad.
If you don’t think that then what’s the point of being here because you’re just happy to sit on the bench or in the stands.
All the lads here want to play, of course they do, but the gaffer’s got a tough job of just picking 11 players.
I don’t want to be here to just play second fiddle or just be happy to be on the bench, that’s never been in my nature and it never will be.
It’s a short career as it is, you want to play as much as you can, I’ll be working hard in training and when I do get my chance I need to try and take them in games.
If I keep doing that then hopefully the manager gives me the nod and maybe gives me more of a starting spot.”
Klopp is still the right man for Liverpool
Former Liverpool captain and manager Graeme Souness believes current Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is the right man for the club, but will have to start winning trophies sooner or later.
The German has endured a frustrating September, winning just once in six matches and exiting the Carabao Cup, as a huge amount of chances created have not been converted into goals and, therefore, points.
Criticism has come from a number of pundits but Klopp, who guided the club to the League Cup and Europa League finals in his first season, has the solid backing of owners Fenway Sports Group and supporters.
Souness thinks that situation is unlikely to change any time soon but that Klopp will have to start delivering more than Champions League qualification.
There have been encouraging signs but at the same time there have been disappointing signs,” he told Press Association Sport.
It is never as bad and never as good as people make out but that is football at the top end.
The modern game is so cruel in many ways, you never really get a chance to build something but he is at a very special club where he will be given that chance and the supporters will give him a chance.
From day one he appears to have been an ideal fit but results are what we are all judged on and in the coming months - if not this season then next - he needs to be winning stuff or coming pretty close to winning something.
He needs all his experience because he is at a very big club and the expectation level is there to win trophies and do well in big competitions - but that is no different to any other Liverpool manager.
His character will help him but it doesn’t guarantee anything. At big clubs you have to be winning trophies.”
