Liverpool boss Klopp: There'll be no extra-time at Man Utd on Sunday

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be prepared for the task of beating Manchester United away from home.

The German knows that his team must do better than what they managed in the FA Cup a few weeks ago.

The Reds were beaten in extra time by United in the quarter finals, but now face a critical league game on Sunday.

Asked about that loss, Klopp told reporters: “The story of the game, we spoke after the game about it – they started better, then we took over and we were really good that day but we didn't finish the situations off in extra-time.

“The good news is we will not have twice 15 minutes [of] extra-time. That was too much for us that day, we couldn't control it anymore and made mistakes we didn't make before at all. And United turned the game around.

“United is a top side playing at home, we all know that. But we cannot just tell, 'Let's do what we did from minute 15 to, I don't know, 70-something.' Football is not that easy.

“We have to find a way to cause United problems and they will try exactly the same. On that level, with this opponent, in this stadium, we better play a really good football game, to be honest, if we want something there."
