With Sturridge or Origi in a central role

This system would definitely be the easiest to get the most out of Sturridge or Origi, but Klopp has previously spoken of his reluctance to move Roberto Firmino out wide. Neither Sturridge or Origi are natural wide players, but can certainly fill in there if needed.

Firmino was often played out wide by Brendan Rodgers in the few months that they worked together, often to little effect, but he has played there on occasion this season as the front three switch and interchange during matches.

This option may be the way to go if Klopp is hoping to keep hold of Daniel Sturridge beyond the January transfer window, with the England international known  to prefer a central striker role and still hunting for his first Premier League goal of the season.
