Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was admitted to hospital on Wednesday afternoon with a mystery illness, but returned home on Thursday with a clean bill of health, before appearing at the press conference on Friday related to the visit of Southampton to Anfield on Saturday.
Everton continue with temporary manager David Unsworth having had their request to speak with Watford’s Marco Silva about becoming their new manager turned down, and Sam Allardyce withdrawing from consideration after declining to be considered for the option of a potential short term contract. Subsequent reports indicate that Everton may be continuing to chase their target, which could trigger a large buyout fee.
