CB Joel Matip 

Matip has spoke about how he can’t wait to hear “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Liverpool fans at Anfield and he should be able to do so on the pitch rather than in a bib getting a front row seat to The Jurgen Klopp Sideline Experience. (Which might be better than playing.)

The Cameroonian was signed to be Liverpool’s first choice central defender and looks the part this season, though his early season partner Lovren has looked a bit better, if not more consistent.

Matip and Lovren are in the process of forging a formidable partnership, one that’ll be tested by the pace of Ahmed Musa and Jamie Vardy. Especially with how high Liverpool like to press and how deep Leicester like to sit.
