I've just read that Matip/ Fabinho was the 28th different CB partnership in the Klopp era! Not sure how that compares to other teams but it sounds pretty crazy.
Done to death, but I guess it shows the need to get another healthy and consistent centre back for the squad.
5 Points for whoever gets the other 27!

Lovren/ Klavan
Lovren/ Sakho
Lovren/ Skrtel
Lovren/ Gomez
Lovren/ Lucas
Lovren/ Enrique
Matip/ Sakho? (Again im not sure these two played together)
Matip/ Skrtel
Matip/ Klavan

You've also had Wijinaldum, Lucas and (potentially) Caulker playing CB at some point, so that would be a minimum of another 3 combinations, possibly more with Lucas playing CB quite a few times.

How did you remember about Enrique lol. I wouldn't remember about his one game as CB.

To add to you list, Toure, Illori and Can. But I have no idea who they played with.

I think Can and illogical were under Rodgers.

A lot of what Rodgers did was illogical Jones.

Good effort! I can't seem to find a definitive list unfortunately.
My measly addition to the list is Fabinho/ / Lovren. also against Wolves. For about 5 mins!

Joe Maguire played with Enrique at CB against Exeter in the FA Cup. I don't think Caulker ever played at CB Klopp always stuck him up front for the last 30secs of a few games, still better option than Benteke.

Illori played as CB with Klopp 3 times, if I am not mistaken, when he was recalled back from villa in the January transfer window.
