Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is determined to make some early January signings after missing out on some crucial deals in August.

Rodgers attempted to sign more than one forward in the summer but missed out, leaving his squad very think when it comes to goals.

"I think we will hopefully be able to do business at the beginning," Rodgers told Sky Sports.

"That was our strategy coming out of August - that we could get that support at the beginning of the month. That's the idea and if we could do that it would be a big boost for us.

"I have always thought that if you have three-and-a-half goalscorers in your team, you have got a chance.

"We have got Luis Suarez, and Steven Gerrard will get goals.

“If we can add a couple more who instinctively get into the box and get goals, with the domination that we are having in games, then we have got a chance in the second half of the season."
