It's been a nightmare campaign for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp - but Monday night's Merseyside derby is an opportunity for the Reds to put a smile back on the faces of the Anfield faithful.

Already, it feels like fans are desperate to consign this rotten campaign to the history books ahead of a mooted summer rebuild. And, given that midfield issues have been at the crux of Liverpool's issues this year, it's probably safe to assume that the Reds' engine room is set for a major revamp.
