  • Jurgen Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager in October 
  • The German has made an unbeaten start to his Anfield career
  • Liverpool beat Rubin Kazan 1-0 in the Europa League

    • The Liverpool starting line-ups under Klopp: 1: Tottenham 0 Liverpool 0 – Premier League. 2: Liverpool 1 Rubin Kazan 1 – Europa League. 3: Liverpool 1 Southampton 1 – Premier League. 4: Liverpool 1 Bournemouth 0 – Capital One Cup. 5: Chelsea 1 Liverpool 3 – Premier League. 6: Rubin Kazan 0 Liverpool 1 – Europa League
    Six games, three wins, three draws, no defeats. Liverpool were hoping that Jurgen Klopp would be an instant hit on Merseyside and their charismatic German coach has delivered.
    A club sorely lacking in direction and drive in the finals stages of Brendan Rodgers’s Anfield reign has rediscovered its mojo under Klopp. A cloud has been lifted, a new era dawns.
    A feelgood factor has followed the former Borussia Dortmund boss into Liverpool, re-energising players who had started to look stale under Rodgers.
    ‘With the new manager, everything is fresh,’ said teenager Jordon Ibe earlier this week. ‘I feel like a new player. The whole team are feeling great and fresh.’
    On Sunday, Klopp’s side face Crystal Palace who have won both Premier League meetings between the clubs since a dramatic 3-3 draw at Selhurst Park in May last year dealt a huge blow to Liverpool’s hopes of a first title since 1990.
    The Anfield faithful dearly hope that Klopp is the man to end that 25-year wait, and he has certainly made a promising start. Sportsmail assesses his first six games.
