Premier League: Sadio Mané injury means Jurgen Klopp has four very different tactical options to choose from

Sadio Mane’s injury is yet another headache for the Reds' boss to deal with as he approaches Liverpool's much talked about Premier League game-in-hand against West Ham United tomorrow. The Senegal ace's presence will be sorely missed as he has been an ever-present and consistently world-class influence on the lineup for over twelve months.

Klopp will look to assert a tactical plan and offer what he hopes to be an able deputy the chance to come in and ensure his team remains on track for league success this season. We've taken a look at how and who the manager may use against David Moyes' men at the London Stadium in what is a crucial tie:

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Chamberlain has been used in the front three at times this season, most recently at Crystal Palace and Bournemouth on the road. More importantly, he has struggled to assert himself in midfield on occasion this term. The midfielder would offer pace and direct running if Klopp feels that counter-attacking situations suit his team-best.

Divock Origi

Origi was poor against Shrewsbury, there is no getting away from it. The Belgian was not involved enough in the fixture and had too many spells where he, like others should have kept the ball better and been more creative.

Takumi Minamino

The Japanese star can count himself unlucky so far in his Liverpool career, given he has been thrown in the deep-end of two games with heavily rotated players and from the bench at one of the toughest away fixtures in the Premier League. The chance to play against West Ham would give the Reds another looks at the attacker, but you also wouldn't rule out him sitting out the majority of what remains of the campaign.

Change of formation

Klopp could opt for the return of the 4-2-3-1 shape or even a 4-4-2 with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino leading the line. Any of the two could open the door for someone like Naby Keita in one of the more advanced positions between the lines behind Mark Noble and Declan Rice.

I think the manager will opt for the same shape as before and allow Fabinho to play another hour with Chamberlain pushed into a front-three spot. That allows the least amount of possible disruption while giving him the chance to change things in the second half of all isn't going to plan.

Premier League: Jurgen Klopp has asserted authority over FA Cup mess, but Liverpool fans face a big dilemma

To look around the plethora of banners and flags on the Kop any given matchday, the words can be found in bold red and white, a message that was coined during Brendan Rodgers' title charge of 2014-15, and took on a whole new meaning under the stewardship of Jürgen Klopp. You can purchase online Premier League Tickets from our website, around the world to enjoy its terrific performances.

Jurgen Klopp

Klopp's mentality and belief are centered around togetherness. In his eyes, the collective can achieve everything and nothing. It can be your biggest strength but also your biggest weakness. When he walked through the door at Liverpool for the first time, he set about taking both supporters and players on one huge journey.

That road has led to gold and continues to do so. Yet there is now a small crossroads to negotiate at the sleepy junction of Shrewsbury. The manager has taken the step of announcing his under 23 and 18' team will combine to play the Anfield replay as his squad will be given a previously promised winter break.

Whatever side of the fence you're on, you simply cannot deny that Klopp has made a massive assertion of authority and laid down his principles in front of everyone from the FA, Premier League.

He has acted from a position of strength and power, sure. But also, as a line manager, a person responsible for the well-being of himself and his team. That he has done that and essentially stuck two fingers up to the contradictory principles of big organizations is admirable.

There will be plenty who don't want to amble to Anfield on a cold and dark midweek winter night and be another £30-£40 down. Maybe those who are invested and able to attend games also need a break.
