The Merseyside derby takes place once again later today and there is plenty riding on it – particularly for the away side.

Whilst local bragging rights are always on offer for the victors of this game, it’s clear that for the Red half of the city, this match means that little bit more.

They’ll be aiming to focus completely on the game, then, but a report from the Mirror today ahead of the match might well offer at least some distraction.

They allege that Jurgen Klopp is on the list of Juventus targets for a new manager if Max Allegri decides to leave the Turin side at the end of the campaign.

Indeed, Zinedine Zidane is thought to be top of their roster of replacements but if he is not available for whatever reason, Klopp might begin to factor.

Should Liverpool fans worry, though? Even if the German wins nothing this season he has the fans onside and the club playing great football, whilst you’d think he’s not finished at Anfield yet.

A distraction, then, but perhaps nothing more needs to be read into it at the moment.
