LIVERPOOL (AFP) - Rafa Benitez's compensation to Anfield upon Boxing day is likely to move around memories of an failed Liverpool challenge for the Premier League title, but Jurgen Klopp is a pain to focus upon the present.Klopp's Liverpool retain a four-point guide at the summit of the table as Benitez, the club's overseer together with 2004 and 2010, visits afterward his relegation-threatened Newcastle united side upon Wednesday (Dec 26).There is a strong wisdom this could be the season that the English league trophy comes to Anfield for the first epoch previously 1990, although recent chronicles is offering poisoned messages as to whether that will happen. First, the good news for Liverpool: In eight of the afterward 10 seasons, the leaders upon Christmas day have afterward upon to win the Premier League.Now, the bad news: upon the two occasions it did not happen, the Christmas leaders were Liverpool. In 2008/09, Manchester united won the title; in 2013/14 it was Manchester City.The tardy collapse to miss out in 2014 was perhaps the more rapidly sadness experience for Liverpool fans, but the failure of 2009, below Benitez, maybe offers more explanation for regret. Both cases come up with the money for lessons that the Merseyside club, however, appear to have absorbed. Brendan Rodgers' team of 2013/14 were not as balanced as the side current Reds boss Klopp has now.While Rodgers had an outstanding attacking partnership, afterward Luis Suarez supported by a fully-fit Daniel Sturridge, his men were defensively suspect.The next Liverpool overseer had four senior centre-backs - Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure - still struggled to decide upon a first-choice pairing. A team who scored 101 league goals conceded a whopping 50; far too many for any side afterward invincible championship ambitions.The class of 2018/19 should avoid that trap; they have the Premier League's best defensive stamp album this season, afterward unaided seven goals conceded.Virgil van Dijk's assume has been key: the centre-back, signed for 75 million (S$130.5 million) from Southampton last January, has provided the defensive leadership that Liverpool missed awfully afterward Jamie Carragher's retirement in 2013."He's very influential," Klopp said of Van Dijk."When I met him first, I thought I knew very nearly his personality, I was beautiful sure he would be afterward he is."After we drifting 4-1 at Tottenham in October of last season, we started defending enlarged and conceding less but next Virgil came in upon top." Liverpool's sound defending means they attain not have to score as freely to win games, although they are coming up afterward the goals afterward needed.Mohamed Salah, after a silent start to the season, is wealthy after beast switched from a wide perspective to a central attacking role. His total of 11 Premier League goals is unaided one fewer than Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the competition's leading scorer.Yet despite that quality, avoiding the fate of the 2008/09 Liverpool team managed by Benitez, might still craving a little luck to go the way of Klopp's men.That side, containing a spine of Pepe Reina, Carragher, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, was strong tolerable to be champions, but suffered from a want of suitable back-up.Too many draws next to lowly opponents proved expensive too, afterward Stoke, Fulham, West Ham and Hull every coming away from Anfield afterward a point.Certainly, though Liverpool have the versatile attacking capacity of Xherdan Shaqiri to call upon if they lose one of their main forwards, and good tone options in midfield now that Fabinho and Naby Keita have found their feet, they may vacillate if anything happens to Van Dijk. Perhaps that is why Klopp has not ruled out signings in January."I keep the log on log on because if something happens next we will craving to have a look, as there are terrible numbers of games coming and that's in fact important that we can react," said the German."But it's every good, unless something dramatically changes."
