Liverpool are 13/2 with Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane all at 4/1 to score first.
Liverpool face Sevilla at Anfield on Wednesday evening, in the first round of Champions League group stage matches this season.
The Reds come into this match on the back of a 5-0 defeat against Manchester City, the biggest defeat of Klopp's tenure.
Sergio Aguero opened the scoring for City (24), in the process becoming the most prolific non-European striker in the Premier League.
The game turned on its head in the 37th minute, when Sadio Mane was given a straight red card for a high boot on Ederson.
City ruthlessly exposed the one man advantage, with Gabriel de Jesus (45+6) making it 2-0 before the break.
The Brazillian made it 3-0 just after half time (53), with City running riot and Liverpool's defence collapsing.
Substitute Leroy Sane scored a late double to add insult to injury for Liverpool (77, 90+1), the second strike an excellent finish to make it 5-0.
