Capital One Cup achievable target for Reds?

The Reds are odds-on at 1/2 to beat Bournemouth next time out in what would be the German manager’s first win in charge since taking over, after drawing his first three matches.

However, Klopp’s team selection will be interesting as Belgium striker Christian Benteke has been ruled out because of a knee injury and the Merseyside outfit are set to play Chelsea next time out in the Premier League.

Ritchie running can expose Reds

Should Klopp opt to pick Alberto Moreno at left back, Ritchie can catch him out, with the Spain international time and again taking up advanced positions against Southampton.

At an enhanced 4/1 (from 11/4 in the regular anytime market), staking up to £20, this represents real value for punters with Cherries wideman Ritchie more than capable of causing a scare. Yann Kermorgant provides Eddie Howe with an experienced threat in attack and could well be worth a punt at 2/1 in the anytime market.
