Klopp demanding passion from Liverpool players ahead of big week

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is demanding passion from his players as they return to 'work'.

Following the winter break enjoyed by their senior stars, the Reds resume Premier League action at bottom of the table Norwich City on Saturday.

Liverpool's 22-point lead over Manchester City has led to many people shifting their attentions to the Champions League, which resumes on Tuesday when Klopp takes his side to Atletico Madrid.

“That (defending the Champions League) is still to prove," said Klopp on Friday.

“I have no clue if we can win the competition, but we should be ready to go for it.

“Just to fight for it. That is how it is.

“Then it is about luck in certain moments to win anything and that is what we will need for sure."
