Jurgen Klopp says he would not change his Liverpool strikeforce for any other in the world… even Paris Saint-Germain’s front three.

The German, who is hoping to mastermind a Champions League group stage victory against the French outfit at Anfield on Tuesday, feels that there is no match for his attacking trident of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.
Despite PSG spending £420million on Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar, Klopp is adamant he would not swap.
“I love my players. All of them. So I don’t want to change anything. I wouldn’t change them,” he said.
He is, of course, still wary of the threat that PSG pose.
“I watched Paris, I watched them last year and I watched them this year, and it is impressive... just that good!” he conceded.
“They are good, really good, not only for Paris, but Kylian Mbappe, what a World Cup he played (for winners France). And Neymar, we all know about his quality.
“Cavani also, outstanding goal-scorer. Everybody knows about the quality of Paris. This team is built for winning the Champions League. They have unbelievable quality.”
Klopp could have a striker shortage after he revealed that Firmino is a doubt for the match after picking up an eye injury in Satruday’s win over Tottenham.
Back-up players Divock Origi and Dominic Solanke may also be absent after they picked up knocks in an Under-23s match.
