Liverpool's starting XI is one of the best in Europe. But imagine Virgil van Dijk getting injured at a crucial time of the season and sidelined for a number of matches. Do Liverpool have the quality and depth in squad to replace the Dutchman in defense?

Full backs are so vital for Liverpool's game, yet there are no obvious replacements for Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, if they were to pick up long term injuries. What if one of their front three are sidelined for a long time? Would Liverpool's attack still be the same?

Klopp does not have riches in his squad like Pep Guardiola does. Man City played a majority of last season without Kevin de Bruyne and still managed 98 points in the season. Can Liverpool do the same without a Mo Salah or a Sadio Mane?

Klopp would hope that his key players stay fit, otherwise it is going to be a challenge for Liverpool.
