Jurgen Klopp says he will not be appealing Sadio Mane’s red card from the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City, saying it would be “another waste of time, like the game”, as he also stated the forward is “very, very, very upset”.

Mane was sent off by referee Jon Moss after 36 minutes when he caught goalkeeper Ederson’s head with a high foot when both went for a loose ball. While Klopp would not say whether he agreed with the decision, he said it was “an accident” and “very unlucky”.

“It never works,” the German said of any appeal. “It would be another waste of time, like the game today.

“It was an accident. [Mane] is very unlucky. The situation I think everyone knows he didn’t see the goalie. There was not one second he looks on the goalie. He just wanted to get the ball as soon as possible. Hopefully the goalie is not seriously injured.

“Sadio is very, very, very upset. He is shocked about the decision and I am sure also about the situation… I am sure enough will find enough reasons to say it was the right decision.”

Philippe Coutinho was not in Klopp’s squad despite scoring for Brazil in the international break, and the German dodged questions as to whether the attacker would be in the team for the midweek Champions League match against Sevilla at Anfield. The Liverpool manager instead expressed surprise the game was not on Tuesday.

Drinkwater could well endure a hostile reception from Leicester fans, having handed in a transfer request in late August. N’Golo Kante, who also left Leicester for Chelsea last summer, was booed in his first match against the Foxes. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Serge Aurier The £23m acquisition from PSG has admitted he has a point to prove with Spurs, both on and off the pitch. Aurier had been in danger of missing out on his move to White Hart Lane after struggling to gain a work permit, with his criminal record for elbowing a police officer a black mark against his name. He will be desperate to make a fresh start against Everton on Saturday. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Fernando Llorente The World Cup-winning Spaniard could make his Tottenham debut against Everton. Llorente was linked with the Toffees during this summer’s transfer window, touted as a possible replacement for Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku given his power and aerial excellence. Having joined Spurs with a year on his Swansea contract, he will be keen to hit the ground running at Goodison. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain The 24-year-old, bought for £35m on deadline day, is set to make his Reds bow at the Etihad stadium against Manchester City. Oxlade-Chamberlain has made no secret of his desire to play in central midfield, and he reportedly believes that Jürgen Klopp will give him the chance to do so. Playing against a midfield coached by Pep Guardiola will certainly keep him busy. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Wilfried Bony The Ivorian striker could make his second Swansea City debut at home to Newcastle on Sunday 10th, and has recently described the club as his “garden”. Bony scored an impressive 34 goals in 70 Premier League appearances for Swansea before joining Manchester City in January 2015. He will wear the number 2 shirt for the Swans, despite the number 9 being vacant after Fernando Llorente’s move to Spurs. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Renato Sanches Signing Renato Sanches on loan from Bayern Munich represents something of a coup for Swansea, with Paul Clement’s Bayern connections instrumental to the deal. As recently as October 2016, the 20-year-old won the prestigious Golden Boy award as Europe’s most impressive player aged 21 or under. A debut against struggling Newcastle is the perfect opportunity for Sanches to shine. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Nikola Vlasic Vlasic was playing at Goodison Park only one month ago, for Hajduk Split in a Europa League qualifier. He reportedly impressed Ronald Koeman so much that the Toffees boss sanctioned a £10m move. Vlasic, who was vice-captain at Split aged just 19, recently described his transfer to Everton as 'the opportunity of a lifetime'. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Mamadou Sakho The former Liverpool defender could return to the northwest on his debut for Crystal Palace, with Palace travelling to Burnley on Saturday. The France international had long fallen out of Jürgen Klopp’s plans at Anfield, and will be aiming to shore up a Palace defence which has shipped six goals in their first three games. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Tim Krul The experienced Dutch keeper is keen to show he can still play at Premier League level, after a serious injury in 2015 hampered his status as Newcastle and Netherlands no.1. Krul - who joins Brighton on a season-long loan – has been on Newcastle’s books for twelve years, but is deemed surplus to requirements by Toon boss Rafael Benitez. Getty 10 debuts to look out for in the Premier League Kevin Wimmer The Austrian centre-half could make his debut against Manchester United at the Potteries. Wimmer will have his work cut out against the Red Devils, who have scored an ominously impressive ten goals without reply in their first three games. £18m might sound steep for a player who struggled somewhat at Spurs, but Stoke boss Mark Hughes has described him as “hugely talented”.

“We play Wednesday. One day more. Good. Yes.”

As regards the general performance, Klopp said he was disappointed Liverpool didn’t take their chances when it was 11 against 11, and lamented the amount of space his side gave up. The general impression was that he didn’t think there was too much to read into the game, though, as he said he will try to “ignore the result” since “one man down against City, it is really not the best place to be”.

“I really expect from us that we are much stronger in the first half hour. Both teams did not defend really well. Both teams were not compact. We had a lot of chances, with two yellow cards [for City] on the 18-yard line. It was in a lot of moments very unlucky for us. We cannot change luck but we can change performance. I said at half-time that I thought it we were completely spot on, I know it is difficult after the international break, but I thought we could have - should have - been in the lead in the first half and the 1-0 when it was 11 versus 11, and that is a moment when we are in possession, everything is good. City didn’t play too high pressure.

“I will try to ignore the result. Not the mistakes but the result. That is already done. We should have scored. We should have had more chances. Mo [Salah] was three or four times on the touchline in the 18-yard box or even in the six-yard box and no one was on the front post. Then with one man down it was a difficult situation. I was still positive. With one man down against City, it is really not the best place to be. A lot of times in training we defend with seven against 14 and we cannot create chances. We could have done better in the second half. It was a hard lesson today. We also need to learn the first half we need to influence the game in another direction. We need to score here. Everybody saw it.
