Liverpool have already made a big transfer splash at the start of this busiest of months by completing the signing of Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea for a fee in the region of £12m but after making such a terrible go of things in the summer, there is plenty of work left to do, so what should be right at the top of the agenda for manager Brendan Rodgers?

With the club currently seven points adrift of Chelsea in fourth place and 11 points ahead of Wigan in the relegation zone, with a Europa League campaign still to contend with, there is plenty left to play for at Anfield this term, not to mention local pride with Everton above them in the league at present.

January represents a potentially dangerous time to do business, but with regards to the various comings and goings on Merseyside, it could prove to be a season-defining month for Liverpool.
