Jürgen Klopp comes into the match against Brentford with a breath of fresh air after the hard elimination in the EFL Cup at the hands of Manchester City in recent days, that defeat struck a chord with the German who immediately raised his voice and accelerated the passage of the jewel of the Netherlands Cody Gakpo, who within hours of his arrival had already been put under the orders of the coach who could debut in this next round.

Monday's match at the Community Stadium will mean a lot to Liverpool, as after a dreadful start to the season, Klopp's side now have to be rowing against the tide to climb the table. With such a situation, every game is like a final, and against the Bees will be no exception, which is why the German coach will make the decision to hand a debut to the young Dutch striker.

Gakpo has yet to make his Liverpool debut and has already benefited Real Madrid

Gakpo's debut in the Premier League would be only his second league appearance in his professional career, as at 23, he only knows the Eredivisie with PSV, the club that signed him in 2016 to play for Joung PSV, where he quickly demonstrated his quality, which gave him the key to represent the Netherlands in the U19, U21 and U23 divisions. So Klopp will have to sacrifice someone from the first team to make room for Gakpo.

Klopp's sacrifice could be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has not convinced Klopp, so the German would be inclined to choose him to give Gakpo a space, as long as the paperwork is ready, as it was the same coach who revealed that this administrative issue has him furious, as it would be the second game upon arrival of Cody, that he would miss with the Reds.

Chamberlain to leave his place to Gakpo

Gakpo is on fire as he contributed three goals to the Oranje attack at the World Cup in Qatar. The Group Stage was all about Van Gaal's side, who applauded Gakpo's goals against Senegal, Ecuador and Qatar, which helped the Netherlands qualify for the play-offs. Gakpo would have everything to make his debut, from medical clearance to Klopp's OK, but the paperwork for registration is out of the hands of the Reds, who hope to see him on the pitch soon.
