Liverpool signed off for the international break in style with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds headed into the match off the back of disappointing results against Luton Town and Toulouse in the Europa League but dispatched Thomas Frank's side with ease to keep pace with Manchester City at the Premier League summit.

Jurgen Klopp will now have a fortnight to take stock during the final international break of the year and prepare for the small task of a trip to the reigning champions later this month.

Klopp has enjoyed significant success on Merseyside since joining the Reds in 2015 and recently signed a contract extension committing him to the club until the summer of 2026.

But Fowler is adamant that De Zerbi, who has worked wonders since replacing Graham Potter on the south coast last season, is exactly the type of coach who would thrive at Liverpool when Klopp's time at the helm is finally up.

Toulouse have confirmed that they sent a letter of apology to Jurgen Klopp after he criticised the arrangements surrounding his post-match press conference in midweek.

The Reds were stunned 3-2 by the Ligue 1 outfit in the Europa League and Klopp was left raging after press duties were carried out in a media tent outside the stadium - and heavily disrupted by the noise of the jubilant Toulouse fans nearby.

After his comments went viral, Toulouse general director Olivier Jaubert revealed that the club wrote to the Anfield hierarchy to apologise ahead of Sunday's win over Brentford.
