Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will pick Nathaniel Phillips and Ozan Kabak alongside each other in defence again this evening, the Guardian report.

Liverpool have consistently had to tinker with their centre-back pairing this term, due to the injury problems they have suffered.

But it seems that Klopp may finally have found a partnership which he could settle upon for the coming weeks.

Kabak and 23-year-old Phillips impressed in Liverpool’s last game, as they got back to winning ways against RB Leipzig.

Phillips got his head on everything, while Kabak, who can be signed permanently for £18 million (Bild), looked assured on the ball.

And it seems that Klopp has now seen enough from the pair to keep faith with them.

Liverpool are set to take on Wolves in the Premier League later this evening, as they look to get back to winning ways.

Klopp’s decision surely means that Fabinho will be picked to start in midfield, where he looked so impressive against Leipzig.

Liverpool will be eager to get the three points, as results have gone their way this weekend, and a victory would put them right back in the hunt for a top four spot.
