Liverpool boss Klopp: Facing Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal in a week is special

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits the coming week will decide their season.

The Reds play Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal over the next eight days.

Klopp said: "It's a like a Champions League week. I know we are out but if you go far enough you can have an English team in midweek in the Champions League, stuff like this. These things are possible and we had that already in the past. Yeah, I'm super-excited, absolutely. We are not dumb, we know the last game we played in Madrid was not a good game, the game before was Bournemouth, not a good game.

"The game before was world-class. So we have to make sure that we pick up from there or react on the other two games, whatever. So City don't know exactly, they have to expect us to be in a top, top, top shape and we have to show up there and really go for it, there's no other chance for us.

"You want to play these games; we play City, Chelsea and Arsenal every season but in one week is pretty special. Yes, it's difficult, but it's the situation and now we are here. Most of the boys are healthy and let's try and help them and use them and bring them in the best possible shape and let's go."
