da bet esporte: Towards the end of last season, Dejan Lovren was regarded as Virgil van Dijk’s centre-back partner at Liverpool.
da leao: Van Dijk was head and shoulders above the rest of the pack when he signed from Southampton in January.
However, the Dutchman’s presence breathed confidence into the rest of the team, including Lovren.
After reaching the World Cup final with Croatia, it was largely thought that the centre-back would return to Liverpool’s first XI, but injury has halted that.
Instead, Joe Gomez, who last season played at right-back, has been installed centrally alongside Van Dijk for the Reds’ four Premier League matches of the campaign.
The club have won all of their top-flight fixtures and Gomez has been a solid figure at the back.

With that in mind, we asked you if Lovren – valued at £18m by Transfermarkt – should remain out of the team for the time being, and the majority of fans polled believe that Klopp should not change the back line.
