What a load of bollocks.

The biggest issue they had was the targets they identified did not want to join them. Will be interesting to see how they go in future windows.

[Liverpool]

Matip declared 100% fit!

Nev and Slinky have been doing the maths and just need a Joel headed goal in the first half for a top 4 finish.

Klopp's closing comments

Some final thoughts from the Liverpool boss now.

"it's a big pressure game. Thank God the times when pretty much each type of challenge was allowed in this game is over.

"That was really dangerous. We have to fight for each yard and we have to play football. That's the mix we want to find."


'Trent has worked really hard'

On Trent Alexander Arnold: "The things he is showing, I saw. That it is possible for him to be a proper Premier League player.

"I saw signs of that and he worked really hard of that to show it.

"Unbelievable for him to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

"I remember the walk we had when I told him he would play. He didn’t look too surprised, not that he wasn’t nervous.

"I don’t remember the game but it was an important first step for him and an important first step for us."


Klopp asked by Norway journalist what advice he would give Solskjaer.

Klopp just laughed.


'No club is willing to wait for success'

A member of the Norwegian press asks Jurgen whether he thinks Ole deserve more time and respect at Man United.

"I have no clue about his position really. It's not important what you are writing, really. It's more important what the board are telling him. I don't have an opinion.

"I want every manager to have as much time in the world but no club is willing to wait for success.

!After my 29 games there was not 100% agreement I was the perfect manager for Liverpool."


'We respect them as the best Man United team we could face'

On criticism: "Everyone told me where’s the scoring five or six goals football gone last season. Then we went and had the best season in my career."

On Man Utd: "We respect them as the best Man United team we could face."

On Man Man Utd injury doubts: "The less your opponent manager knows about you the better. Four years in England it is still really strange for me about not knowing whether a player is fit or not. In Germany we allow the press to watch training four or five times a week!"


'A really good opponent in a really difficult situation'

On recent performances: "Can we play better? Yes, of course. But first of all you have to play as well as you can in the moment.

"We haven't relied on winning a game without performing as the boys have performed so far.

"It's about making the next steps and you can't do that during the summer when the boys aren't there.

"We have to do it in the season, that's what we are doing at the moment.

"The next challenge is a really good opponent in a really difficult situation."


'We are not perfect but we are working on getting better'

On Leicester win and last-minute winning penalty: "I really liked the Leicester game. I didn't understand that people said we didn't deserve to win. We were lucky in the moment to get the penalty but the game was 100% Liverpool. They had a lot of quality but we deserved to win."

He added: "We are not perfect but we are working on getting better."

The league table would say otherwise, Mr Klopp.


'We are very relaxed and very ambitious as well'

On nerves: "We are not nervous because of the winning streak and the history we could make. We are very relaxed and very ambitious as well."

On Daniel James: "He is a really good player, absolutely. But I expect Martial, Rashford and James on the pitch. The speed they have and quality all across the pitch."


'If United want to change their season, they have to wait a week'

On Man Utd's form: "We have to make sure if United want to change their season, they have to wait a week."

On Man Utd injuries: "Yesterday no chance for De Gea and Pogba. Today it’s a maybe. Tomorrow it’s a chance."

On the intensity of Old Trafford: "Premier League games, all of them are really intense. I wouldn't have realised the difference until there are 500 people in the room. Whatever they do we have to be prepared for that."


'It’s a circus and we’re in the centre'

On outside talk: "Ignoring. This game is so easy. Not the game against United, the game you all play.

"When on Sky you make a combined line-up and it’s all Liverpool. It’s a joke.

"It’s a circus and we’re in the centre. A couple people want us to win, a couple want us to lose.

"I am aware of the strength of the Man Utd."


'We need a mix between outstanding attitude and really great football'

Another quirky quote from Klopp... he says he enjoys playing rival teams "a lot" and that "it's the salt in the soup".

On pre-match preparations against Man Utd: "It is really great. You would love to prepare a game like this for a full week but we have had international break. For both teams it is the same situation. We have had three or four days to prepare.

"We will fight 100% but we have to play football as well. That's all I'm concerned about, a mix between outstanding attitude and really great football."


'Man Utd seem to be the only team who want to play us at the moment!'

On confidence: "I've never really struggled with confidence. I am not sure before a game. I am quite optimistic we have a chance. History in this case is not really important."

On Old Trafford: "We like to use atmosphere in our stadium it is incredibly helpful. Old Trafford is not too bad either. They said it - we are the perfect opponent.

"I don't think there are too many teams who want to play against us at the moment - it looks like Man United are the only one!"


Man Utd v Liverpool (Sun, 16:30 BST)

Some team news first from Klopp.

On Salah, Alisson and Matip's fitness: "We have to see. Two more sessions to come and we have to make a decision. Nothing fixed yet."

Zaha to have a worldie and impress pep or woodward

[Norbs]

Palace know how to beat them and will have a go. Both sides have had ages to prepare for this but I cant see anything other than a valiant effort by Palace

I'm going to Palace away in November

[Norbs]

Dupe

[dom9]

It's kinda come to quite something that nobody would really be surprised if Palace got a result today.

If it did happen, I think I might burst.

[Fosterbloke]

A result for Palace would make tomorrow a free hit for us which means attack attack attack!

[Fredo]

Rumours that Salah misses the game tomorrow. Twitter talk at this stage.
