LIVERPOOL (AFP) - Rafa Benitez's return to Anfield upon Boxing daylight is likely to disquiet memories of an fruitless Liverpool challenge for the Premier League title, but Jurgen Klopp is bothersome to focus upon the present.Klopp's Liverpool retain a four-point lead at the summit of the table as Benitez, the club's executive surrounded by 2004 and 2010, visits behind his relegation-threatened Newcastle united side upon Wednesday (Dec 26).There is a mighty suitability this could be the season that the English league trophy comes to Anfield for the first grow old back 1990, although recent chronicles is offering polluted messages as to whether that will happen. First, the fine news for Liverpool: In eight of the behind 10 seasons, the leaders upon Christmas daylight have behind upon to win the Premier League.Now, the bad news: upon the two occasions it did not happen, the Christmas leaders were Liverpool. In 2008/09, Manchester united won the title; in 2013/14 it was Manchester City.The tardy collapse to miss out in 2014 was perhaps the more brusquely sore spot experience for Liverpool fans, but the failure of 2009, under Benitez, maybe offers more defense for regret. Both cases meet the expense of lessons that the Merseyside club, however, appear to have absorbed. Brendan Rodgers' team of 2013/14 were not as balanced as the side current Reds boss Klopp has now.While Rodgers had an outstanding attacking partnership, behind Luis Suarez supported by a fully-fit Daniel Sturridge, his men were defensively suspect.The then Liverpool executive had four senior centre-backs - Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure - nevertheless struggled to match upon a first-choice pairing. A team who scored 101 league goals conceded a whopping 50; far afield too many for any side behind omnipresent championship ambitions.The class of 2018/19 should avoid that trap; they have the Premier League's best defensive wedding album this season, behind lonely seven goals conceded.Virgil van Dijk's touch has been key: the centre-back, signed for 75 million (S$130.5 million) from Southampton last January, has provided the defensive leadership that Liverpool missed badly behind Jamie Carragher's retirement in 2013."He's totally influential," Klopp said of Van Dijk."When I met him first, I thought I knew about his personality, I was lovely determined he would be behind he is."After we in limbo 4-1 at Tottenham in October of last season, we started defending augmented and conceding less but then Virgil came in upon top." Liverpool's unassailable defending means they complete not have to score as freely to win games, although they are coming going on behind the goals behind needed.Mohamed Salah, after a silent begin to the season, is wealthy after beast switched from a broad slope to a central attacking role. His sum of 11 Premier League goals is lonely one fewer than Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the competition's leading scorer.Yet despite that quality, avoiding the fate of the 2008/09 Liverpool team managed by Benitez, might nevertheless habit a little luck to go the mannerism of Klopp's men.That side, containing a spine of Pepe Reina, Carragher, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, was mighty plenty to be champions, but suffered from a deficiency of welcome back-up.Too many draws neighboring lowly opponents proved costly too, behind Stoke, Fulham, West Ham and Hull every coming away from Anfield behind a point.Certainly, though Liverpool have the versatile attacking capability of Xherdan Shaqiri to call upon if they lose one of their main forwards, and fine environment options in midfield now that Fabinho and Naby Keita have found their feet, they may be anxious if everything happens to Van Dijk. Perhaps that is why Klopp has not ruled out signings in January."I save the entrance entrance because if something happens then we will habit to have a look, as there are monstrous numbers of games coming and that's in fact important that we can react," said the German."But it's every good, unless something dramatically changes."
