Jurgen Klopp insists he has no concerns about Loris Karius’ form as the Liverpool keeper prepares for Monday night’s crunch clash with Manchester United at Anfield.

The young German shot-stopper is expected to retain his place after being preferred to Simon Mignolet prior to the international break.

Karius produced a nervy display in the win at Swansea a fortnight ago and struggled to command his penalty box as the Reds conceded from a set-piece.

With United’s height and physicality, Jose Mourinho is bound to target Karius but Klopp has faith in the summer signing from Mainz.

“It was only once (when he didn’t come off his line at Swansea) actually,” Klopp said.

“We have analysed that. It was only the last situation really.

“Whichever goalkeeper I choose unfortunately he will not be totally free of mistakes and that’s the way it is. That’s the game and that’s no problem.

“But it’s about giving the boys the best feeling and the biggest support to perform at their best and that’s what we do.

“My job is to create an atmosphere where single mistakes are not really important. That’s how it is in this case and we will see on Monday how my decision was.”

Klopp had said he would reasses the keeping situation during the international break with Karius having made three appearances following Mignolet’s stint at the start of the campaign.

However, Mignolet’s hopes of a return in the near future appear remote with the manager making it clear he won’t be regularly changing his No 1.

“It’s difficult but from my point of view it’s a luxury problem,” Klopp added.

“It’s a decision between two very strong goalkeepers. I can’t handle the goalkeeping position like I handle all the other positions. I can’t say: ‘Today you, tomorrow you’, like I may with a defender or full-back or striker. It’s not possible. I respect this so I will make my decision.”
