​Anfield can help Liverpool get over the line against Hoffenheim - Klopp

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thinks that 'Anfield' can be the main factor in the second leg of the Champions League qualifier between his side and Hoffenheim.

The Reds, who enjoy a 1-2 lead from the first leg, will host the Bundesliga side at Anfield for the second leg on Wednesday night.

Klopp said: "Anfield is a main factor, we all know it, it's a very special place. Nothing happens by itself - we have to perform, we have to deliver - but then we all know the atmosphere can and will help you.

"I really hope that everybody is ready for this game, everybody is ready to fight. I would be concerned if the people thought it was a weak side coming from Hoffenheim and we need to be dominant and things like this and each bad pass gets a moan.

"It will not happen because I know we have a football crowd and they know about the quality and so they are ready to fight. And we are ready to fight too."
