Lallana was a key man for both club and country last season as he helped the Reds qualify for the Champions League and won England's player of the year award. 

Liverpool fans will be happy to see the midfielder back for Klopp's men, as his direct nature and ability to create a chance out of nothing will take the pressure off of Philippe Coutinho.

The midfielder has only played one minute of Premier League football this year, but with pressure and frustration growing on the Red's midfield, his return will be a breathe of fresh air. 

Liverpool find themselves just outside the top four, but having progressed to the next round of the Champions League and possessing the attacking trio they have will stand them in good stead to have a positive season.
