Diogo Jota and substitute Roberto Firmino scored the goals to underline the attacking options at Klopp's disposal, with Mohamed Salah also coming on as Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz started the game.

City stuttered on Monday when they were held to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace, prompting discussion over their lack of a frontline forward.
