Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp scoffs: Fear Man Utd trip?

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rubbished suggestions his players could be intimidated at Manchester United tomorrow.

United have won their last nine games, Liverpool, after losing at Southampton and drawing with Plymouth and Sunderland, appear to be wobbling.

Klopp scoffed: "What could I fear? At this moment, anything is possible. It could be United are not at their best level and it's just nobody knows about it yet. I don't fear things like this. I've had enough time in the game to realise what happens.

"I'm 100 per cent positive — absolutely looking forward to the game. We've now had four days to react from a really bad game (at Southampton) on our side by playing in a very important game. I love it. That's how football should be.

"When I woke up this morning I thought, 'Yes! Only two days to go!'," said Klopp. "I hear in your questions that, because of our last game, it's 'Oh my God! Now it's Man United!' and all that stuff. But give me 11 players and we will be competitive. These are my players."
