    A few words from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “I thought the best way not to lose is to win the game. Like always, we will need perfect organisation and we show our respect for the opponent with our attitude in the game. No line-up gives you the guarantee for a win, we always work with probabilities and stuff like this. It’s a completely different game, they have a different side with three or four important players back in the squad. There is no difference in our approach."
