Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet are unconvincing but Liverpool can get back to winning ways against Sevilla

Jurgen Klopp's side are maddeningly inconsistent but being back in the European big time can spur them on

I DON’T know if anyone knows exactly what they will get from Liverpool this season.

The last two games sum that up — beating Arsenal 4-0 then losing 5-0 at Manchester City.

An amazing change in two games.

But Jurgen Klopp is good at connecting with his team and you can see they are working together.

They remind me of his Dortmund side, with that pressing style, and are clearly improving.

KEEPING IT REAL

If there is a problem for them it is still their goalkeeper.

I look at Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet and remain unconvinced by both.

I am sure it is something that Klopp will look at going forward.

 Simon Mignolet is likely to be on the bench for Liverpool but will need to be at his best if called into action

SEVILLA ON SLIDE

Two years ago Sevilla were a great side. You don’t win the Europa League three years in a row without really good players.

They are still decent but not what they were under Unai Emery.

Liverpool will have lost confidence after City. But this is a great chance for them to build it up and I expect them to take it.

PREDICTION: Liverpool 2 Sevilla 0
