Liverpool news: Luis Suarez reacts to transfer return as Jamie Carragher theory backed

Liverpool's slump continues to frustrate Jurgen Klopp after he watched his side drop yet more points in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Brighton.

Leandro Trossard became only the third player in Premier League history to grab a hat-trick at Anfield in a thrilling performance from the Belgian forward, though it wasn't quite enough to earn his side the victory.

The Reds have Roberto Firmino to thank largely for that, after his two goals helped draw them back level before Adam Webster's own goal gave Liverpool the lead, prior to Trossard sealing a share of the spoils by completing his treble.

A busy week now lay in store for Klopp and his men, who welcome Rangers in the Champions League on Tuesday before travelling to Arsenal on Sunday. Here Mirror Football has rounded up the latest Liverpool news. as they aim to get back on track.

Joel Matip has conceded Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson "saved our backs" against Brighton - and not for the first time.

The Brazilian pulled off several stops to ensure the Seagulls weren't able to add further to their tally after taking a two-goal lead before settling for a draw.

Matip praised the Reds' No.1 after the match, admitting he hopes Alisson does not face as busy an afternoon in future, though pundit Jamie Carragher will no doubt feel that is unlikely, given his theory on Liverpool's persistent risk-taking.
