Jurgen Klopp names the two players who have saved Liverpool millions as title admission made

Jurgen Klopp is convinced his new-look Liverpool team have already shown they can handle the demands of the Premier League title run-in - and believes the progress of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott has saved the club millions.

The Reds resume their quest for a second championship under Klopp when they entertain Brighton on Sunday ahead of the blockbusting clash between Manchester City and leaders Arsenal.

In a three-way battle for the title, with 10 games remaining only goal difference separates Liverpool from the Gunners with City just a point adrift.

The Reds have made a habit of finishing strongly in recent seasons with 2019/20 - when they won the Premier League crown with seven games to spare - the only one of the past five campaigns in which they have taken fewer than 24 points from the final 30.

And despite an influx of new faces in the squad over the last 12 months, the Liverpool manager believes his team are "ready for the fight" up against last season's top two and can lean heavily on previous experiences.

"It is important," said Klopp. "It's now clear what you are fighting for. What do you know before a season? When we played a season like we did last year, afterwards it was quite a restructuring of the team. The machine room was completely new, we had no idea (what it would be like). A late number six coming in, another number six injured early on, one of the young guns (Stefan Bajcetic).

"We had to create an idea and we did. We found a way together and I love so much about how the boys have taken to it.

"Yes, there's a lot of excitement involved as well.
