Both Lovren and Lallanaare suffering fromAchillesinjuries and have missed training this week.

According tothe club's official website, Klopp said, "It's not 100 per cent sure if Dejan Lovren can train today, still (is suffering) problems. But we still have hope that it is possible, so we'll see in a few minutes."

"Adam Lallana was out for two days with a little problem with the Achilles.

"We have to see. He's willing and we want, for sure, to try that he can train today and then he is available for tomorrow, because it was only two days."

But the Reds could be without defenderRagnar Klavan for Saturday's game.

"Ragnar Klavan has had a real bacterial infection, so (spent) six days in bed and (has) lost a little bit of weight," Klopp revealed.

He was running the day before yesterday, and yesterday felt much better. He's involved in training today but we have to see what we can do with him.�

Injuries to bothLovren and Klavan would mean that Liverpool willonly be left with one senior centre back - Joel Matip - and could be forced to use Lucas as a makeshift replacement.

The Brazilian has filled in there on a number of occasions this year, but could find the physical presence of Harry Kane difficult to deal with.

Liverpool are on ahorrific run of form and have only won once in their last ten matches. The eds haven't won a league game in 2017 and lost last weekagainst relegation threatened Hull.

The dire sequences of results have seen Liverpool slip to fifth in the table, but Klopp's men know that three pointson Saturday could see them moveback into the Champions League positions.
