Stoke vs Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp wary of Marko Arnautovic and identifies Liverpool problem

Ahead of tonight's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg, the Liverpool boss talks to the media

Jurgen Klopp has admitted his side struggle to cope with crosses ahead of Liverpool's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg tie against Stoke.

The German coach, who replaced Brendan Rodgers last year, has the opportunity to take his new side to a final in his first season if they can overcome the Potters across two legs, starting tonight. However, they must address their issues at corners according to the former Borussia Dortmund manager. "We have to solve it," he said.

Klopp, speaking to the media before tonight's match, also admitted his concern at the form of Stoke striker Marko Arnautovic, who has impressed alongside Bojan and Xherdan Shaqiri in Mark Hughes' exciting forward line-up.

Stoke host Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium before the second leg at Anfield on 26 January.
