Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given high praise to the club's Under-21 captain Cameron Brannagan, saying that the 19-year-old has "everything you need for a midfield player".

Brannagan recently signed a new long-term contract with the club, and features in Klopp's plans.

Liverpool remain winless in Klopp's three matches since he was appointed Liverpool manager, drawing all three. They face Bournemouth in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night, a game in which Brannagan is expcted to play some part in.

“Great young guy, I like his style," Klopp said of Brannagan.

“For his age, has everything you need for a midfield player.”

Brannagan has made one appearance for the Liverpool senior squad, as a substitute in their Europa League draw at Bordeaux.

Klopp added that he will make changes from his team which drew 1-1 with Southampton on Sunday.

"It's a very, very important game," he said.

"But I know we have a lot of games in the legs so we have to change.

"It's the most important cup in the world because it's the game we have to play tomorrow."
