Just what has happened to Liverpool of late? It was only a few weeks ago the Reds were flying high, a mere couple of points behind League leaders Chelsea and still in all the cup competitions.

And then January happened. Eight games, one win, and down to only one competition. First came their elimination from the EFL Cup, where Jurgen Klopp's men were beaten 2-0 on aggregate by an hit-and-miss Southampton side. Secondly, and most recently, came the embarrassing FA Cup fourth round exit at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Thirdly, add into that bag the failure to win any three of their Premier League games and you have a miserable start of 2017.

While some Liverpool fans have been quick to consign their club to another season of doom and gloom, the truth is far from that. The Reds still very much remain in the title race and their improvement this first full season under Klopp has been nothing short of remarkable.

The German manager needs time to find the right dynamic and perhaps, more importantly, the right players for his squad going forward. January presented another chance for the former Dortmund manager to make this Liverpool side his own, so could it be in with the new and out with the old?

Incomings are extremely unlikely, but here are FOUR Liverpool players we think could leave before the transfer window shuts tomorrow night...

Mamadou Sakho

If he doesn't go by tomorrow, it is surely only a matter of time before the once revered Frenchman says goodbye to Anfield.

Following his doping mishap (for which he was cleared) and fall-out with Jurgen Klopp last year, the former Paris Saint-Germain man has been forced out of the Reds side and failed to rebuild the bridges he broke. The big, strong centre-half will attract plenty of attention as a late, top quality option.

Lucas Leiva

Speaking with the Telegraph, the Brazilian midfielder has signalled that his ten-year career at Liverpool may be coming to a close, questioning the amount of game time he is currently getting.

While it is believed Klopp hopes Lucas will stay at Anfield, he certainly has options - Inter Milan amongst those interested - and the opportunity for first-team football again could be a temptation too great to resist.

Emre Can

Juventus reportedly scouted Liverpool’s Emre Can during the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Manchester United earlier in the month, with the Serie A leaders looking to reinforce their midfield options beyond the starting trio of Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Mjaralem Pjanic.

The Germany international was once a guaranteed starter in Klopp's side, but some poor performances either side of the New Year mean he has fallen out of favour.
