For the first several months of the season, Liverpool have been one of the leagues surprise packages. The Reds have been dismantling clubs with a dizzying array of attacking prowess, which has so far served to cancel out some subpar defending.Liverpool (9-4-2) have hit some adversity heading into the busy festive period, winless in two consecutive matches and missing their most dynamic creative player heading into Wednesday nights encounter with Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium.Liverpools attacking midfield corps of Philippe Coutinho, Adam Lallana, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have been making opponents heads spin for most of the season, but Coutinho is out for about five weeks after suffering an ankle injury against Sunderland on Nov. 26. Manager Jurgen Klopp hasnt quite figured out how to replace him in the two matches that followed -- a 4-3 loss at Bournemouth and 2-2 draw with West Ham United at home on Sunday.Klopp utilized a 4-3-3 against Bournemouth with a front three of Mane, Firmino and Divock Origi. Sundays lineup featured the same front three with Lallana returning to the starting 11 after his own injury spell.Things started well for the Reds as Lallana put the hosts up after just five minutes, but Dimitri Payets well-taken free kick equalised for West Ham in the 27th. The visitors then went ahead in the 39th as a deflected long pass landed at the feet of Mikhail Antonio, who slid it past an out-of-position Loris Karius.Origi did well to equalise just minutes after the restart as the sides were forced to share the spoils, but as good as the attack has been, the defence has been equally shaky, conceding two preventable goals Sunday.Klopp conceded that his club has things to work on in the defensive third.As a manager, if you concede goals, how can you be happy about this? But they are all different, thankfully, he told reporters. We have to work on all the different things, but its quite difficult to work a lot on free-kicks or on deflected passes in defence.I think for us, and especially for me, the most important thing is that in absolutely most of the situations, we are really good in defending. (Against West Ham) we had a little bit of a problem but its a clear rule that the boys are responsible for the good things and I am responsible for the bad things in the game.Klopp gave an assessment of what his club will face Wednesday.Unfortunately, they are a very difficult side to play, because they havent scored a lot until now but they dont concede a lot, the German commented at Mondays pre-match press conference. They are a football-playing side with quite skilled players. We made the opposition analysis this morning and its really interesting to see what they are capable of. Its an interesting challenge, I would say.Middlesbrough, for their part, continue to scrap and claw as a promoted side looking to hit that magical 40-point mark that almost guarantees safety. At 3-6-6, they have some work to do towards that end, but a win Wednesday would certainly help.Boros results have been up and down, as any promoted clubs are They have been surprisingly sold in the defensive third, having only conceded 16 goals in 15 games to make up for a struggling offence. The Teesiders gave a good account of themselves in Sundays 1-0 defeat to Southampton at St. Marys Stadium, but were done in by a 53rd-minute strike from Sofiane Boufal.Despite the loss, Aitor Karankas boys must turn their attention to Liverpool.Its an important period in the Premier League, Karanka told Sky Sports. We lost (Sunday), but I think the performances have been really good so were looking forward to those games.We are a recently-promoted team and we have shown we will create chances and compete against every single team. We are together and we are going in the same direction.Middlesbroughs last Premier League encounter with Liverpool ended in victory, 2-0 at the Riverside in February 2009. In the last meeting in all competitions, the Merseyside outfit progressed from a League Cup tie 14-13 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Anfield.Liverpool havent won a Premier League game in Middlesbrough since March 2002, drawing four and losing three contests there since.
