Arne Slot was happy to make light of predecessor Jurgen Klopp’s bugbear after he made a triumphant start to life as Liverpool boss with a 2-0 victory at Ipswich.

One of Klopp’s big irritations was a Saturday 12.30pm kick-off, and it appeared for long periods at Portman Road that Slot may share the same gripe after Ipswich edged a tight first half in which the visitors failed to register a shot on target.
