Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists there's no problems between himself and Chelsea counterpart Frank Lampard.

Sunday's opponents Chelsea have spent more than £200m on new recruits in a summer of Stamford Bridge rebuilding and although Klopp insists Liverpool were different from "clubs owned by countries and oligarchs", he has no problem with how Lampard, or any club, do their business.

"Between Frank (Lampard) and me there is absolutely nothing - I admired him and loved him as a player and now he is doing a really good job as a coach," Klopp said.

"So I can't help you with some 'rivalry' between us, we will obviously be rivals on Sunday but apart from that it's all good.

"We are different clubs, leading in a different way, that's how it is - we invest what we earn and sometimes we invest before we earn but it's still based on these kind of things and it's not like this for other clubs.

"Whatever they do though I am completely fine with that - they can all do what they want and it's a free world. We have our way of dealing with the club."

Klopp is wary of the threat Chelsea will pose, not just this season but in the years to come, as he prepares his side for a trip to the capital on Sunday.

"There's plenty of threats, they've signed really well and already had an unbelievably good team," added Klopp. "We had to suffer a lot against them in the games last season.

"Christian Pulisic obviously wasn't involved but he'll probably be fit for the game, Mason Mount and I know Kai Havertz from the Bundesliga - he will play a proper role this season.

"There's so many good players up front, in midfield, the defensive line and the full-backs - there's not a biggest threat, Chelsea themselves are the threat - that's how it is in football."
